Exegesis
The adverbial ve-achar {וְאַחַר | wə-ʾa-ḥar} ‘and after’ signals transition to the imperfect yishchat {יִשְׁחַט | yiš-ḥaṭ} ‘he shall slaughter’, marking a second sacrificial act. The string of vav-consecutive forms creates a procedural, legislative rhythm preserved by mirroring the sequence in English.
