SIBI-P1 Translation H935-169
she came
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple action, and the perfect 3rd feminine singular form denotes a completed action by a feminine subject. "She came" preserves the core sense of movement toward a point of reference inherent in the root. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
a woman came
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'She came' is too specific—the Hebrew says 'a woman' (הָאִשָּׁה) and refers to the act in general. 'A woman came' fits the context of the prohibition phrase, as seen in most literal renderings. |
