When a source permits two interpretations

Let’s collect small examples where a passage admits different readings.

For each example, provide:

  • the source link and edition;
  • two interpretations stated separately;
  • one set of facts on which their results differ;
  • information that could help resolve the choice.

Before hiding an ambiguity inside a program condition, make it visible. Who gets to decide between the interpretations, and on what grounds?

Bring one passage: which part of it requires a choice?
