Exegesis
The vav-consecutive vehayah {וְהָיָה | wə-hā-yāh} introduces the result clause vehayah echad chatat vehahaechad olah {וְהָיָה אֶחָד חַטָּאת וְהָאֶחָד עֹלָה | wə-hā-yāh ʾe-ḥāḏ ḥa-ṭā-ʾṯ wə-hā-ʾe-ḥāḏ ʿō-lāh}, using definite articles and coordinated numerals to assign one bird to sin offering and the other to burnt offering. The coordination underscores equal ritual status and socio-economic accommodation within the cultic law.
In context — Leviticus 14:22
And two doves or two sons of the dove that his hand can afford, one shall be for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
