 Dear Lee,

 Yes, I agree: that's the difficulty (or part of it). Perhaps the Participle
 can stand on its own, with HaYaH understood: especially as TiH:YeH occurs,
 albeit some way back.

 Obadiah 1:17 comes to mind:
 uWB:HaR TsiYYoWN     TiH:YeH         P:LeY+aH
 and upon mount Zion  there shall be  a deliverance

 _W:HaYaH     QoDeSh_    )  [HaYaH with Participle]
 and it shall be holy    )

 W:YaR:ShuW BeYT Ya`a:QoB              'eT MoWRaSheYHeM
 and the house of Jacob shall possess  their possessions

 That's my best shot...
