Exegesis
The verse features two reported speeches introduced by ve'amar {וְאָמַ֣ר | wə-ʾāmar}, creating a question–answer pattern.
The second ve'amar {וְאָמַ֕ר | wə-ʾāmar} introduces a relative clause headed by asher {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʾăšer}, which contains the Hophal perfect huketi {הֻכֵּ֖יתִי | hukkêyti}, emphasizing the passive affliction.
In context — Zechariah 13:6
And he shall say to him, “What are these wounds between your hands?” Then he will answer, “Those with which I was struck in the house of my friends .”
