Exegesis
The construct chain ha-chatat {הַֽחַטָּ֖את | ha-ḥaṯ-ṭā-ṯ} specifies the sacrifice, while yaktir introduces a ritual action culminating on ha-mizbecha {הַמִּזְבֵּֽחָה | ha-miz-bê-ḥâ} ‘altar’ as the locus of sacrifice. The pre-verbal object in Hebrew emphasizes the value of the fat; English renders a natural word order by placing the locative phrase last, preserving the performative ritual sense.
