Dear Bryan,
The word order of a clause may change the mode or the stress of it. So, yes, a and b *may* signal a difference in meaning. Clause b is somewhat strange, though. The problem is that there are many clause-initial YIQTOLs in the Tanakh which appear to be indicative. So word order is not conclusive; we need some other clues from the context to draw particular conclusions. The clause )HYH )$R )HYE seems to have a formulaic character, and I see nothing in the context suggesting a modal force.
Best regards,

B-Haverim,
Do any of you suppose there would be a difference in meaning between
sentence a. and b. below? To ease reference to the two 'ehyeh's that
appear in each sentence, the 1's are main clauses and the 2's are
subordinate clauses.
a. 'ehyeh(1) 'asher 'ehyeh(2)
b. 'asher 'ehyeh(2) 'ehyeh(1)
More specifically, does the position of the yiqtol verb form within its
clause have an impact on its meaning?
Shalom,
Bryan
