to us

Morphological NotesInseparable preposition ל with 1st common plural suffix נוּ (HR/Sp1cp). The dagesh in לָּ reflects assimilation of the preposition to the suffix in certain phonetic environments.
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition ל (“to/for”) with the first common plural pronominal suffix נוּ (“us”). The rendering “to us” preserves both the directional sense of ל and the 1st person plural reference indicated by the suffix.

for us

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleThe dative preposition לָ here is best rendered ‘for us’ rather than ‘to us’ in this context of benefit. It matches the function of making something remain for us.
