All 21 glossary entries (10 new central + 11 new overlay) approved as named-scholarship-anchored with appropriate claim_type calibration and (where required) explicit lens-discipline operational disavowals. The project s 6th central-to-central bidirectional sibling-pair (Gen 45 ↔ Gen 50:20 providential-reframing) independently verified — both centrals name each other by id. The project s first 5-way bidirectional sibling-cluster (Ya aqov-Yisra el name-shift: 1 central + 4 overlay-chapter-anchors for Gen 45/46/48/49) independently verified post-corrective-pass — central rationale enumerates all 4 overlay-ids; each overlay back-references the central. Lens-leakage check passed verse-by-verse: the translated English (paragraphs[].i18n.en) reads as a defensible scholarly ASV-baseline rendering of Gen 50; a credentialed Hebrew Bible scholar would find no WoH-distinctive synthesis on the translation surface. The chapter s three principal lens-risk concentrations (v 17 nasa-avon forgiveness-formula; v 20 atem-chashavtem providential-reframing climax; vv 24-25 paqod yiphqod Exodus-bridge) all carry explicit operational disavowals in the rationale prose against the relevant pre-resolutions (Christian-soteriological / Calvinistic-compatibilist / Christian-eschatological / WoH-spin). The cycle s deliberate un-resolved-closure (Yosef in an Egyptian coffin awaiting the Exodus) is documented as named scholarship (Sarna, Alter, Brueggemann, Westermann, von Rad, Clines, Schmid, Blum, Childs) without premature theological resolution — closure-discipline strict. The 9th consecutive chapter the Editor honored the bidirectional convention is verified (with the single-pass corrective for the 5-way Ya aqov-Yisra el wiring caught and repaired before Reviewer-pass, matching the Gen 39 / Gen 41 / Gen 42 precedent). Genesis Chapter 50 — and with it, the book of Genesis — is ready for human sign-off as reviewer-approved."}},
