Exegesis
In the formal rendering, pen {פֶּן | pen} introduces a negative purpose clause rendered “so that the LORD does not break out,” preserving the preventative intent.
The Qal imperfect yip-rōṣ {יִפְרֹץ | yip-rōṣ} depicts sudden divine action “breaks out,” with bāhēm {בָּהֶם | bā-hēm} “against them” indicating the priests as recipients. In the dynamic version, pen is rendered as the coordinating “or” to express the practical consequence “or the LORD will burst out,” while the same verbal forms yield “must make themselves holy” and “burst out” for natural clarity.
