Exegesis
The imperfect tihyeh {תִּהְיֶ֨ה | ti-hyeh} functions existentially to predicate the subject mesillah {מְסִלָּ֤ה | mesillā} ‘highway.’
In context — Isaiah 19:23
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.
