Exegesis
The conjunction kî {כִּי | kî} introduces the explanatory copular clause hîʾ ʾăḥuzzātām {הִוא אֲחֻזָּתָ֔ם | hîʾ ʾăḥuzzātām}, identifying bāttê ʿărê ha-ləwîyim {בָּתֵּי עָרֵי הַלְוִיִּ֗ם | bāttê ʿărê ha-ləwîyim} as the Levites’ possession among bənê Yiśrāʾēl {בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | bənê Yiśrāʾēl}, underscoring statutory protection and inheritance structure under Jubilee provisions.
In context — Leviticus 25:33
And if one of the Levites redeems it, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee , for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their inheritance among the sons of Israel.
