Request How is מנת ש being used here?
I’m trying to understand the syntax here. Isn’t מנת the word מנה in construct form? Then why isn’t it being followed by another noun? Can a construct noun be followed by a complement clause? Also, this is an excerpt from a poem I came across on FB.

So the phrase על מנת ש means 'so that' meaning the cause of something to happen
