I'd think it to be the following:
"...: to let arise Da_sein out of the _truth of Beyng_ (i.e. out of the
essencing of truth), in order to ground therein the being [all being] as
a whole and as such, [and] [to ground] man in its midst."
The "aber" does not serve to mark a contradiction but puts emphasis on
the particular ("in the midst"). The reference of the "seiner" in the
German text is not clear, as it could be either _the truth of Beyng_ (Is
this spelling for the translation of "Seyn" common?) or "being as a whole
and as such." I somehow suspect that the reference is to the latter, but
can give no reason for this impression.
