Exegesis
The second clause begins with ve-hikriv {וְהִקְרִ֖יב | wə-hik-rîv} ‘and he shall bring near’, a Hiphil imperfect indicating causation, followed by et-ha-sair {אֶת־הַשָּׂעִ֥יר | ʼet-ha-sa-ʼîr} and he-chai {הֶחָֽי | he-ḥāy} forming the noun phrase ‘the living goat’. The orderly use of vav-consecutives and infinitive constructs structures the Day of Atonement ritual as a clear liturgical progression.
