Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lifnei YHWH {לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה | li-p̄ənê Yə-hō-wāh} situates the act before the divine presence, and the causal clause mi-zov tumatah {מִזּ֖וֹב טֻמְאָתָֽהּ | mi-zôv ṯū-mā-ʾā-ṯā(h)} ‘from the discharge of her uncleanness’ specifies the impurity addressed. The precise framing of direct-object markers and the contrast between sin and burnt offerings underscores the theological emphasis on purification.
In context — Leviticus 15:30
And the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and he shall make atonement for her before the LORD because of her unclean discharge .
