Exegesis
The verse opens with the vav-consecutive perfect vehayetah {וְֽהָיְתָ֞ה | wə-hā-yə-ṯā} ‘and it was’, which introduces the head noun haptsirah {הַפְּצִירָה | hap-ṣî-rāh} ‘sharpening’.
In context — 1 Samuel 13:21
And the charge for sharpening was a pim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and for three-pronged forks and for the axes, and for fixing the goad .
