Exegesis
The prepositional phrase levad {לְבַד | lə-vaḏ} introduces the exception, which is specified by the construct chain mimkarav {מִמְכָּרָ֖יו | mim-me-kā-rāv} bound to haavot {הָאָבֽוֹת | hā-ā-ḇōṯ}, forming a genitive relation “from his sales of the ancestors.” The word order highlights the general principle before stating the exception.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:8
They shall eat a portion corresponding to a portion, besides what comes from the sale of the estate .
