Exegesis

The infinitive construct lēʾmōr {לֵאמֹ֗ר | lēʾmōr} ‘saying’ transitions into a Hiphil imperative sequence, with haqqəṭēr {הַקְטֵ֣ר | haqqəṭēr} ‘offer up’ governing a series of construct-chain nouns such as ʾōlaṯ-habbōqer {עֹלַת־הַבֹּקֶר֩ | ʾōlaṯ-habbōqer} ‘burnt offering of the morning.’

You shall sprinkle all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice on it. But the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire .”
