Exegesis
The construct phrase mitumot benei yisrael {מִטֻּמְאֹ֖ת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | mit-tum-ʾōt bə-nei yis-ra-ʾel} ‘from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel’ grammatically binds communal defilement to the people, underscoring substitutionary atonement theology. The English follows Hebrew word order to preserve ritual logic and emphasis.
In context — Leviticus 16:19
And he shall sprinkle on it from the blood with his finger seven times, and he shall purify it and consecrate it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.
