Exegesis
The verse unfolds as a vav-consecutive chain linking three main actions: velaqqach {וְלָקַח | wə-lā-qāḥ} ‘and he shall take’, vehikriv {וְהִקְרִיב | wə-hik-rîḇ} ‘and he shall offer’, and vehenif {וְהֵנִיף | wə-hē-nîp̄} ‘and he shall wave’.
In context — Leviticus 14:12
And the priest shall take the one lamb and offer it as a guilt offering , and the log of oil, and he shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD .
