Grammar Rules

Subjunctive verb
وَلِيَعْلَمَ (And that may know) is in the subjunctive mood — it comes after a particle like أن ("that") or لن ("will not"), which changes its ending.
We translate it as "to [verb]" or "that [someone] [verb]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلِيَعْلَمَ (And that may know) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Purpose لِ (so that)
وَلِيَعْلَمَ (And that may know) starts with لِ showing purpose — it means "so that" or "in order to".
We add "so that" or "in order to" before the verb.

Sahih International

And so those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord and [therefore] believe in it, and their hearts humbly submit to it. And indeed is Allāh the Guide of those who have believed to a straight path.
