and turn back
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural, with prefixed conjunction וְ |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and return
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'And return' is a clearer imperative in this context than 'and turn back.' The people are told to come back after three days, not to 'turn back.' The SILEX definition supports 'return' here. |
