of the poor
To be impoverished, to be or become poor, to experience lack or deprivation, particularly in material or economic resources; also used to indicate the state of a person lacking in means or reduced to a condition of dependence. The root often conveys not merely the presence of financial want, but a pressing, ongoing condition of need, especially as a social or economic status within the community.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7326-06
heads
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine plural absolute form denotes multiple instances of what is at the head or top. "Heads" preserves the concrete root sense while allowing for its extended meanings of leaders, summits, or beginnings without importing context. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
of the poor
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed to 'of the poor' since the Hebrew here is a genitive indicating whose ground it is; this fits both SILEX, common meaning, and context, whereas 'heads' is a lexical error. |
| P1 Flag | Wrong root: should be poor (H7326), not heads. |
