Exegesis

The conjunction wə’im {וְאִם | wə-ʾim} initiates parallel infinitives: wə’im-ləha’alot {וְאִם־לְהַעֲל֨וֹת | wə-ʾim-ləha’ălôt} ‘and if to offer up’ governs ʿōlā {עֹלָה | ʿōlā} ‘burnt offering’ and ū-minḥâ {וּמִנְחָה | ū-minḥâ} ‘grain offering’, while wə’im-laʿăśôt {וְאִם־לַעֲשׂ֤וֹת | wə-ʾim-laʿăśôt} governs zibbḥê {זִבְחֵ֣י | zibbḥê} ‘sacrifices of’ šəlāmîm {שְׁלָמִים | šəlāmîm} ‘peace offerings’.
