Exegesis
Judgment unfolds through a series of imperfect verbs in Qal and Pual stems—yipolu {יִּפֹּלוּ | yip·pō·lū} ‘they shall fall’, yeruttshu {יְרֻטְּשׁוּ | yə·ruṭ·ṭə·šū} ‘they shall be dashed’, yevukka’u {יְבֻקָּעוּ | yə·vuq·qā·‘ū} ‘they shall be torn open’—with the instrumental bacherav {בַּחֶרֶב | ba·ḥe·rev} ‘by the sword’ indicating means.
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.
