Exegesis
The source clause mē’iššēy YHWH {מֵאִשֵּׁי יְהוָה | mē-’iš-šē Yəhōwāh} ‘from the offerings of the LORD’ attributes the gift to divine origin, and the concluding construct ḥōq-‘ōlām {חָק־עוֹלָם | ḥōq-‘ō-lām} ‘perpetual statute’ serves as a legal closure formula underscoring the enduring nature of the command.
