Exegesis
The conjunctive phrase ve-akharei-ken {וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵ֖ן | wə-ʼaḥărêy-ḵên} ‘and after that’ precedes the Qal imperfect yavo {יָב֥וֹא | yāḇōʼ} ‘he shall enter’, governed by the prepositional phrase el-ha-machaneh {אֶל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה | ʾel-ha-maḥănêh} ‘into the camp’. The structure underscores the necessity of complete purification before rejoining the community.
In context — Leviticus 16:26
The one who sends the goat to Azazel must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that he may enter the camp .
