Exegesis
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.
In context — Exodus 19:22
The priests also, who approach the LORD , must consecrate themselves , so that the LORD does not break out against them.
