and he scattered
| Morphological Notes | Piel sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular verb |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and I wandered
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and he scattered' is incorrect in context and person; the verb here is 1st common singular, best as 'and I wandered' to match tense and sense of restlessness. Corrects root error. |
| P1 Flag | Root/Strong's mismatch: not 3ms, should be 1cs. Also 'and he scattered' does not fit context; 'to wander' is more accurate. |
