Exegesis
The clause then proceeds with vehayetah {וְהָֽיְתָה֙ | wə-hā-yə-ṯāh} ‘and it will be’, a vav-consecutive form that moves from the completed setting of the bow to its ongoing future role.
In context — Genesis 9:13
My bow I have set in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
