Exegesis
The noun phrase ha-har {הַר | hār} “hill country” is the subject of yihyeh-lekha {יִֽהְיֶה־לָּךְ | yihyēh-lākh} “shall be yours,” marking future possession.
In context — Joshua 17:18
The hill country shall be yours, for it is a forest ; clear it, and its outgoings shall be yours. You shall dispossess the Canaanite , though he has chariots of iron, though he is strong.
