Exegesis
It features two parallel Qal imperfect verbs with second person subjects: teshitemo {תְשִׁיתֵמוֹ | tə-ši-tê-mō} ‘you will put them’ plus the noun shekhem {שֵׁכֶם | šê-ḵem} ‘shoulder’ functioning as a result accusative indicating flight, and tekhonen {תְּכוֹנֵן | tə-ḵō-nên} ‘you will aim’ with the instrument phrase bemeitarekha {בְּמֵיתָרֶיךָ | bə-mê-ṭā-rê-ḵā} ‘with your bowstrings’ and the tight prepositional unit al-peneihem {עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם | ʿal-pə-nê-hem} ‘against their faces’ marking the direct target. The maqqef binds the preposition to peneihem as a single unit. This parallel structure emphasizes the swift progression from enemy rout to divine judgment.
