Exegesis
The sequence la-kō-hên lô yihyeh {לַכֹּהֵ֖ן ל֥וֹ יִהְיֶֽה | la-kō-hên lô yihyeh} ‘to the priest, to him it will be’ underscores priestly entitlement through repeated prepositional phrases and the Qal imperfect yihyeh ‘it will be’. This chiastic word order foregrounds both the donor’s continued ownership of consecrated items and the priest’s contingent right upon receiving them.
In context — Numbers 5:10
Each man’s holy offerings will be his; whatever any man gives to the priest , it shall be the priest’s.
