SIBI-P1 Translation H6064-04
they were fined
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Niphal (passive/reflexive) stem; perfect conjugation; 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem marks passive voice, and the perfect 3rd common plural indicates a completed action affecting them. Given the root’s specialized legal sense of imposing a financial penalty, "they were fined" preserves both the passive morphology and the monetary-penalty focus. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
they were punished
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'they were fined' is too specific; while the root may often indicate financial penalty, in the context here it refers broadly to suffering consequences. 'they were punished' better communicates the general penalty incurred, in line with common renderings and the range of the Hebrew verb. |
