I'm not sure how
to handle the "l"s. The stars aren't seasons, days, or years; they are "for"
seasons etc. Apparently they aren't signs either, they are for signs. What
does this mean?

About the hebrew I know nothing.  I have always taken the "for"s as purposive, the why of the various lights, and in parallel: signs (of the zodiac, presumably) = seasons and years.  I assume a missing "to mark" or some such thing.
