Exegesis
The opening vehayah {וְהָיָ֧ה | wə-hā-yāh} ‘and it will be’ signals a prophetic futurity and introduces divine action; the subject yəhōwāh {יְהוָ֛ה | Yə-hō-wāh} occurs twice for rhetorical emphasis.
A chiastic parallel yiḥyēh yəhōwāh ʾeḥāḏ u-šə-mô ʾeḥāḏ {יִהְיֶ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה אֶחָ֖ד וּשְׁמ֥וֹ אֶחָֽד | yiḥyēh Yə-hō-wāh ʾeḥāḏ u-šə-mô ʾeḥāḏ} aligns God’s being with His name to emphasize divine unity.
