Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet-} focuses the action on ha-sa’ir {הַשָּׂעִיר֙ | ha-šaʻîr} ‘the goat’, with la-azazel {לַעֲזָאזֵ֔ל | la-ʻăzāzēl} indicating the ritual destination.
The Piel verb yekhabbes {יְכַבֵּ֣ס | yəḵabbēś} ‘he shall wash’ followed by the Qal perfect ve-raḥats {וְרָחַ֥ץ | wə-rāḥaṣ} ‘and he shall bathe’ creates a dual purification sequence, first his garments (be-gadav {בְּגָדָ֔יו | bᵉ-ḡādāyw}) then his body (be-saro {בְּשָׂר֖וֹ | bᵉ-śārōw}) in ba-mayyim {בַּמָּ֑יִם | ba-māyyim}.
