Exegesis
The clause hā-yāh ge-šêm šō-ṭêp̄ {הָיָה גֶּשֶׁם שׁוֹטֵף | hā-yāh ge-šem šō-ṭêp̄} positions the perfect hā-yāh ‘will be’ before the noun ge-šêm ‘rain’ and participle šō-ṭêp̄ ‘overflowing,’ creating an emphatic future sense.
In context — Ezekiel 13:11
Say to those who plaster with whitewash that it will fall. There will surely be an overflowing rain, and you great hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind will break through it.
