Exegesis
The finite verb tihyeynah {תִּהְיֶינָה | ti-hyê-ye-nā} resumes the subject in the Qal imperfect, while the perfect veravtsu {וְרָבְצוּ | wə-rā-ḇə-ṣû} describes the flocks’ action in sequence.
In context — Isaiah 17:2
The abandoned cities of Aroer will be for flocks ; they shall lie down, and none will make them afraid .
