The masculine referent of yakun refers to the subsequent phrase.
تَكُنْ لَهُمْ آيَةٌ
takun lahum āyatun
“Was it not the case that they had a sign, (namely) that the Israelite scholars recognise it?”
This reading is best explained with an implied pronoun (ḍamīr al-qiṣṣah) which is the subject of takun, then this is followed by an explicating sentence.
