הוֹרֵתָֽ/נִי
𐤄𐤅𐤓𐤕/𐤍𐤉
yârâh
have taught me
To throw, cast, or shoot—primarily an arrow or projectile; by extension, to point or direct, and in a metaphorical sense, to teach, instruct, or give guidance. Used both of concrete physical action (shooting arrows, casting lots, throwing stones) and of indicating, explaining, or instructing in law, ritual, or custom. The teaching sense arises from the idea of clearly pointing out a direction or instruction.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3384-08
you have directed me
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect, 2nd person masculine singular + 1st person common singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense from the root ירה, moving from "to shoot/point" to "to direct or instruct." The 2ms perfect with 1cs suffix yields "you have directed me," preserving both the causative nuance and the pronominal object. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
have taught me
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The verb in context clearly means 'have taught me' rather than 'have directed me,' as the root figuratively refers to instruction in usage concerning judgments/laws. |
