Exegesis
The verse arranges the ritual steps through a series of vav-consecutive perfect verbs (veyatsa {וְיָצָ֗א | və-yā-ṣāʾ} ‘and he shall go out’, vekipper {וְכִפֶּ֣ר | və-ki-p̄er} ‘and he shall make atonement’, velakach {וְלָקַ֞ח | vĕ-lā-qaḥ} ‘and he shall take’, venatan {וְנָתַ֛ן | vĕ-nā-than} ‘and he shall put’).
In context — Leviticus 16:18
Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD , and he shall make atonement for it. He shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar all around.
