Sorry, i cannot help you
the solution to this difficult verse will not come from from this one reading in the scroll (the additional he is not important). the reading of MT is very difficult and the translation marred itself is a deviation from the mt pointing mishhat to mushhat see
BHS, and
even then we don’t understand. the scroll is never a reliable source for exegesis. the scribe often looks out for a way to solve difficult readings. i don’t understand MT or the scroll and have to study the passage more thoroughly with commentaries for which i have no time now. you may look in the ICC commentary of Williamson, not online, or the commentary on the scroll by don parry, not online.
sorry, my knowledge is limited. the religious crisis may persist.
