Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase lə-kha ûlē-vanêka {לְךָ וּלְבָנֶיךָ | lə-kha ūlē-vanêkhā} ‘for you and for your sons’ designates hereditary entitlement, reflected in English by a parallel series preserving the Hebrew cumulative and intensifying structures.
In context — Numbers 18:9
This shall be yours from the most holy things , reserved from the fire: all their offerings, all their grain offerings, all their sin offerings, and all their guilt offerings which they bring to Me . They shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
