Exegesis
The imperfect verb yiḥyeh {יִהְיֶה | yiḥ-yêh} ‘it will be’ conveys a timeless or certain future reality, and the indirect object marked by lə-ḵā {לְךָ | lə-ḵā} ‘to you’ indicates the beneficiary. The sequence (quantifier + noun + domain phrase + verb + indirect object) underscores the guaranteed allocation of any cherem within Israel to the specified recipient, reflecting the legal-entitlement language of the Holiness Code.
