Exegesis
The verse employs two sequential vav-consecutive Qal perfect verbs, venatan {וְנָתַן | ve-natan} ‘and he shall put’ followed by ve-kis-sah {וְכִסָּה | wə-ki-sāh} ‘and he shall cover,’ establishing a chronological sequence of ritual actions.
In context — Leviticus 16:13
And he shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD , and the cloud of the incense shall cover the atonement cover on the testimony so that he will not die.
