Exegesis

The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} combined with the Hofal perfect huva {הוּבָא | hū-bāʾ} ‘was brought’ defines the specified animals, leading into the Piel infinitive le-kapper {לְכַפֵּר | lə-kap-pēr} ‘to make atonement’ with the prepositional phrase bakodesh {בַּקֹּדֶשׁ | ba-qō-ḏeš} ‘in the holy place’, indicating purpose.
