Exegesis
The parallel atonement formula ba’ado uve’ad haam {בַּעֲדוֹ וּבְעַד הָעָם | ba-ʿă-dō u-bə-ʿăd hā-ʿām} emphasizes the high priest’s dual role in securing both personal and communal expiation.
In context — Leviticus 16:24
And he shall wash his flesh in water in a holy place , and he shall put on his garments, and he shall go out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and he shall make atonement for himself and for the people.
