Exegesis
The phrase al-ken {עַל־כֵּן | ʿal kēn} ‘therefore’ transitions to the provision clause, where the participle noten {נֹתֵן | nō-ṯēn} ‘giving’ with the independent pronoun hu {הוּא | hû} marks ongoing divine action.
In context — Exodus 16:29
See, because the LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain, each person, in his place; do not let any person go out from his place on the seventh day.
