Exegesis
The clause yihyu olah la-YHWH {יִהְיוּ֤וּ עֹלָה֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה | yih·yū ʿō·lâ la-YHWH} ‘they shall be a burnt offering to the LORD’ employs the imperfect to assign ritual designation.
In context — Leviticus 23:18
And you shall bring near with the bread seven lambs without blemish one year old, one young bull, and two rams; these shall be a burnt offering to the LORD , with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
