Exegesis

In the second clause, yihyeh {יִהְיֶ֖ה | yi-hyē} ‘shall be’ precedes shenei esronim {שְׁנֵי֙ עֶשְׂרֹנִ֔ים | šĕ-nê ʿes-rō-nîm} ‘two tenths’, while ha-khallah ha-eḥat {הַֽחַלָּה הָאֶחָֽת | ha-ḥal-lāh hā-ʾe-ḥāt} ‘the loaf, the one’ emphasizes each portion. This word order preserves both the legal command and distributive nuance.

In context — Leviticus 24:5

You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve loaves; two-tenths shall be for each loaf .
