The infinitive hiphil wə-hăʿălōṯ ʿôlāh ḥinnām {וְהַעֲל֥וֹת עוֹלָ֖ה חִנָּֽם | wə-hă-ʿă-lōṯ ʿôlāh ḥinnām} expresses purpose ‘to offer up a burnt offering for nothing.’ In English, the vav sequence and infinitive constructs are rendered as finite verbs with coordinating conjunctions to maintain clarity and emphasis.
