Exegesis
This verse opens with vehayah {וְהָיָה | wə-hā-yāh} employing the vav-consecutive perfect to denote future certainty.
The conjunction vehayah {וְהָיָ֥ה | wə-hā-yāh} introduces the result, with le-et-erev {לְעֵֽת־עֶ֖רֶב | lə-ʿēt-ʿerev} providing a temporal setting, and yihyehor {יִֽהְיֶה־אֽוֹר | yiḥ-yēh-ʾôr} proclaiming the onset of light.
In context — Zechariah 14:7
And it shall be one day— it is known to the LORD ; not day and not night, but at the time of evening there shall be light .
