Exegesis

The conjunction kī {כִּי | kī} functions causally to introduce the superlative title qōdeš qōḏāšîm {קֹדֶשׁ קֳדָשִׁים | qō-ḏeš qō-ḏā-šîm} ‘most holy,’ which the pronoun hū’ {הוּא | hū’} ‘it’ and prepositional form lō {לוֹ | lō} ‘for him’ link to the designated priests.

In contextLeviticus 24:9

And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, for it is Kodesh Kodashim to him from the fire offerings of the LORD , a perpetual statute.
