Exegesis
The participle veyilid {וִילִיד | wiv-lîd} with beito {בֵּיתוֹ | bêythō} extends consumption rights to those born in his house, and the plural yokhlu {יֹּאכְלוּ | yô-ḵə-lû} with velachmo {בְּלַחְמוֹ | bə-laḥ-mō} signals collective participation by the household. This legal construction delineates both individual and familial rights regarding priestly property.
