Exegesis
The final clause hakōhên lif-nê YHWH {הַכֹּהֵן לִפְנֵי יְהוָה | ha-kō-hên lip-nê yə-hō-wāh} ‘the priest before the LORD’ sets the divine presence as the locus of ritual efficacy. English structure demands splitting into two sentences for clarity while preserving the sequential ritual flow.

And the remainder of the oil on the palm of the priest he shall put on the head of the one being cleansed; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD .
