Exegesis
The conjunctive noun ki-achuzzat {כִּֽי־אֲחֻזַּ֥ת | ki·ʾă·ḥû·zaṯ} introduces the causal clause explaining that the land is characterized by olam {עוֹלָם | ō·lām} “everlasting,” affirmed by the copula hu {הוּא | hūʾ} and the prepositional suffix lahem {לָהֶם | lā·hêm}, indicating ownership. English renders the construct chain with genitive prepositions to preserve the Hebrew hierarchy and legal tone while maintaining the temporal nuance of olam.
Root and etymology
