Exegesis
The prepositional phrase le-dorōṯêkhem {לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם | lə-dō-rō-ṯê-ḵem} ‘for your generations’ extends the command temporally, and bechol moshvoteykhem {בְּכֹל מֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם | bə-ḥōl mō-švō-ṯê-ḵem} ‘in all your dwellings’ broadens its spatial scope, underscoring the communal and temporal reach of the divine ordinance.
