Exegesis
The Hifil imperative hak ’et-ha-rō‘eh {הַךְ אֶת־הָרֹעֶה | ḥak ʾet-hā-rō-ʿeh} orders the striking of the shepherd, and the Pual imperfect u-tefutsena ha-tzon {וּתְפוּצֶיןָ הַצֹּאן | û-tə-fū-ṣē-nā ha-ṣōn} depicts the resultant scattering, showing cause and effect.
In context — Zechariah 13:7
Awake, O sword, against My shepherd and against the man who is My companion , declares the LORD of hosts ; strike the shepherd, and the flock will be scattered. I will turn My hand against the little ones.
