Exegesis
The vav-consecutive Hiphil perfect vehanif {וְהֵנִ֨יף | və-hē-nîf} ‘and he shall wave’ introduces the waving ritual, taking otam {אֹתָ֧ם | ʾō-tām} ‘them’ and restating hakohen {הַכֹּהֵ֛ן | ha-kō-hen} for emphasis.
In context — Leviticus 14:24
And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD .
