Sorry, comparing the results of both `\hbox` and `\vbox` to what I had
in the first initial, the former option seemed the right one to me: I
thought the placement with \vbox was wrong (although this was the first
time I used the Hebrew script in my whole life 😅).

Since “TeX builds up a page as a nest of boxes within boxes within
boxes” (“TeX for the Impatient”, p. 17), I guess this is required for
ConTeXt to know how to snap the actual content to the grid.

But I discovered the existence of `\snaptogrid` yesterday, so Hans,
Mikael or Wolfgang (among other wizards) can give a more accurate answer
to this.
