Exegesis
The verse opens with veheemid {וְהֶעֱמִ֞יד | wə-hê-ʿim-mid} ‘and he shall cause to stand’, a causative verb introduced by the vav-consecutive that foregrounds the priest’s active agency in presenting those cleansed. Parallel participial forms of “making clean” and “being cleansed” establish the purifier and purified roles.
Root and etymology
