סַחְרָ֜⁠הּ וְ⁠אֶתְנַנָּ֗⁠הּ

profit_of,its_trading and,hire_of,its

קֹ֚דֶשׁ

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of holiness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [holy]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [because]
