SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and in the earth
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'and in the land' to 'and in the earth' because the context contrasts 'heavens' and 'earth' rather than a specific territory or land; aligns with SILEX definition and traditional rendering. |
