Exegesis
The subject hakohen {הַכֹּהֵ֛ן | ha-kō-hen} ‘the priest’ performs the action, followed by direct objects introduced by et {אֶת־ | ʾet} and veet {וְאֶת־ | və-ʾet} leading into keves {כֶּבֶשׂ | ke-ḇeś} ‘lamb’, haasham {הָאָשָׁ֖ם | hā-ʾā-šām} ‘guilt offering’, log {לֹג | lōg} ‘log’, and hashemen {הַשָּׁ֑מֶן | ha-šā-men} ‘oil’.
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.
