Exegesis
The verb wë-hē-vîʾ {וְהֵבִיא | wə-hē-vîʾ} ‘and he shall bring’ shifts spatially from the sanctuary entrance (min-bêṯ) to the inner curtain (lā-pārôkeṯ), marking high-priestly entry. The tripartite structure wə-ʿā-śâ … ka-ʾăš-er … ʿā-śâ parallels the bull’s sacrifice, emphasizing ritual repetition. The final wə-hi-ẓāh … ʿal ha-kap-pō-reṯ wə-lip-nē ha-kap-pō-reṯ underscores dual placement of blood on and before the atonement cover, symbolizing complete purification. The formal translation preserves Hebrew order to reflect precise cultic sequences, while the dynamic version renders terminology for readability.
In context — Leviticus 16:15
And he shall slaughter the male goat of the sin offering which is for the people, bring its blood inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the bull’s blood, and sprinkle it on the atonement cover and before the atonement cover.
