Exegesis
The vav-clause vehayetah {וְהָיְתָה | wə·hā·yê·ṯâ} ‘and it shall be’ links to the ashes, designating them la’adat bene yisrael {לַעֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל | la·’ă·ḏaṯ bene yis·rā·’ēl} ‘for the community of Israel’.
In context — Numbers 19:9
And a man who is clean shall gather the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the sons of Israel as a reserve for water of impurity, a sin-offering .
