Exegesis
The imperfect yittnu {יִתְּנוּ | yittənû} conveys the regular offering action directed to the divine recipient laYHWH {לַיהוָה | lā-YHWH}, marked by the preposition lekha {לְךָ | lᵉ-ḵā}, and the perfect netattim {נְתַתִּים | nəṯattîm} functions as a declarative gift, positioning the human recipient as beneficiary. This progression from quantification through enumeration to relational exchange underscores the sacred economy of giving and priestly entitlement.
