Exegesis
The closing clause from offerings by fire to the LORD {מֵאִשֵּׁי יְהוָה | mĕ-ʾi-šê yə-hō-wāh} ‘from offerings by fire of the LORD’ frames the liturgical dedication. With no finite verb in Hebrew, English supplies “shall be”/“is” to complete the sense, and the final placement of YHWH underscores divine authority.
Root and etymology
aleph–shinaleph–shin
“fire”
In context — Leviticus 2:3
What remains of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy from the offerings by fire of the LORD.
