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.

In contextLeviticus 16:27

The bull of the sin offering and the goat of the sin offering, whose blood was brought to make atonement in the holy place, shall be brought out outside the camp; and their skins and their flesh and their dung shall be burned in the fire.
