Exegesis
The repetition of vezeh mizbeakh leolah leyisrael {וְזֶה־מִּזְבֵּ֥חַ לְעֹלָ֖ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל | wəzeh mizbēaḥ ləʿōlāh ləyisrāʾēl} assigns the altar’s purpose. Hebrew nominal clauses omit an explicit copula, which English supplies for clarity. The parallel structure underscores the foundational proclamation of the temple site.
