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.
