I further think now that "they will bring her back" is also the most
appropriate
reading. It creates the best parallelism to "tpdh". The idea of
reading "w$byh"
alludes to the returnees of Zion. It might therefore be the result of an
early
"don't read such, read instead such" midrash developed during the Persian
period.
