Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect yanchil {יַנְחִיל | yanḥîl} ‘he causes to inherit’ serves as the main verb, directing an intentional bequest toward benei-vanim {בְּנֵי־בָנִים | bənêy bānîm} ‘sons of sons.’
In context — Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the just .
