and they thoroughly boiled
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person common plural. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and they will cook
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed 'and they thoroughly boiled' to 'and they will cook' because the core meaning is to cook/boil and future tense is contextually appropriate; 'thoroughly' is not explicit in the Hebrew. |
