Exegesis
The objects ‘olal {עֹלְלֵיהֶם | ‘ol·lə·hem} ‘infants’ and haryotav {וְהָרִיּוֹתָיו | hā·rî·yō·ṯāw} ‘pregnant women’ bear pronominal suffixes to show collective possession. The coordinating vav links the parallel clauses, amplifying the sense of total destruction. The English rendering preserves the causal relationship and verb sequence while adapting word order for clarity.
In context — Hosea 13:16
Samaria shall bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God ; by the sword they shall fall, their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped open.
