and he scattered abroad

Morphological NotesConjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol (imperfect with waw-consecutive) 3ms from פוץ; active voice, sequential past narrative form.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed past action by a masculine singular subject: "and he scattered." The addition of "abroad" preserves the root sense of dispersal inherent in פוץ, emphasizing movement outward and fragmentation.
