Exegesis
The prophetic vav-consecutive vehayah {וְהָיָה֩ | wə-hā-yāh} ‘and it shall come to pass’ introduces a future prophetic declaration.
In context — Zechariah 13:2
And it shall come to pass on that day, declares the LORD of hosts , that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness from the land.
