Of the first of your coarse meal you shall give to the LORD an offering throughout your generations: This verse repeats parts of the previous two verses, but it also adds that the contribution of the first loaf of bread must be made throughout your generations (see verse 15). Good News Translation renders this phrase as “For all time to come.”
