Exegesis
The verse unfolds through a chain of vav consecutive verbs establishing procedure—verachats {וְרָחַץ | wə-rā-ḥaṣ} ‘and he shall wash’, velavash {וְלָבַשׁ | wə-lā-ḇaš} ‘and he shall put on’, veyatsa {וְיָצָא | wə-yā-ṣāʾ} ‘and he shall go out’, veasah {וְעָשָׂה | wə-ʿā-śāʾ} ‘and he shall offer’, vekhipper {וְכִפֵּר | wə-kip-pēr} ‘and he shall make atonement’.
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.
