Exegesis
The verse employs a vav-consecutive chain beginning with yak-tsi’a {יַקְצִ֥עַ | yak-tsi-ʾa} ‘he shall scrape,’ followed by ve-shafkhu {וְשָׁפְכ֗וּ | wə-šaf-khu} ‘and they shall pour out,’ indicating removal of he’afar {הֶֽעָפָר֙ | he-ʿa-far} ‘the dust.’
In context — Leviticus 14:41
And he shall scrape the house all around from within, and they shall pour out the dust that they have scraped off to the outside of the city, to an unclean place.
