Exegesis
The construct chain chukat olam ledorotekhem bekhol moshvotekhem {חֻקַּ֤ת עוֹלָם֙ לְדֹרֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכֹ֖ל מֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶֽם | ḥuq-qat ʿō-lām le-dō-rō-tê-ḵem bə-khōl mō-šō-ḇā-tê-ḵem} ‘a statute forever for your generations in all your dwelling places’ extends the mandate across time and space. The English preserves the legal register and mirrors the dual ad clauses to reflect the Hebrew structure.
In context — Leviticus 23:14
You shall not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until this very day, until you present the offering to your God . It is a lasting statute for your generations in all your dwelling places.
