yârad
and-go-down
To go down, descend, or move from a higher to a lower position, either physically (such as descending a mountain, moving from inland to the coast, or traveling to a region of lesser elevation) or metaphorically (such as a decline in status or fortune). The term also extends to causing something or someone to move downward or to a lower status, including bringing, leading, or letting down. It is used for descending geographically, as when traveling from the central highlands of ancient Israel to the coastal plain, or for entering lower regions such as Egypt—which was often described as 'going down' due to its geographic position relative to the land of Israel.

and you descended
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 2nd person feminine singular. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and you shall descend
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and you descended' is past, but Hebrew is a sequential (waw-consecutive) with imperative/command sense in context. 'And you shall descend' matches the sequential instructions being given. |
