Exegesis

The Qal imperfect yihyeh {יִהְיֶה | yiḥ-yēh} ‘it shall be’ functions as a copulative verb linking the subject to the beneficiary phrases lakhem {לָכֶם | lā-ḵem} ‘for you’ and ve-la-ger ha-gar ittekhem {וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר אִתְּכֶם | wə-la-ḡēr ha-ḡār it-te-ḵem} ‘and for the sojourner who sojourns with you,’ a parallel structure indicating inclusive application.

In context — Numbers 15:16

One law and one judgment shall be for you and for the sojourner who sojourns with you.
