Exegesis
The noun phrase ha-levi {הַלֵּוִי | hă-lā-wî} ‘the Levite’ is the subject, followed by the causal clause ki ein-lo chelek wə-nachalāh im-makh {כִּי אֵין־לוֹ חֵלֶק וְנַחֲלָה עִמָּךְ} ‘because there is not to him portion and inheritance with you’, employing the negative existential ein {אֵין} + pronominal suffix lo {לוֹ}.
Root and etymology
“to join or attach”
In context — Deuteronomy 14:29
And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and the sojourner , and the orphan, and the widow who are within your gates, shall come and eat and be satisfied, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
