The domains of application are extended by b‘khol-moshvoteichem {בְּכָל־מוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם | bə-ḵōl mōš-ḇō-ṯê-ḵem} ‘in all your dwelling places’ and ledoroteichem {לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם | lə-dō-rō-ṯê-ḵem} ‘for your generations,’ yielding comprehensive spatial and temporal scope. The English rendering adjusts Hebrew syntax and legal emphasis for modern clarity.
