Exegesis
The phrase va’ani hinneh natati lekha {וַאֲנִי הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי לְךָ} ‘and I—behold—I have given to you’ uses the emphatic hinneh {הִנֵּה | hin-nêh} to stress intentionality before natati {נָתַתִּי | nā-ṯa-tî}.
In context — Numbers 18:8
And the LORD spoke to Aaron, “And I—behold—I have given to you the responsibility over My offerings, for all the holy things of the sons of Israel; to you I have given them as your portion and to your sons as an everlasting statute.”
