Exegesis
The adverbial veacharei-ken {וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן | wə-’aḥa-rê-ken} ‘and afterward’ introduces the temporal clause leading to yavo el-hamachaneh {יָבֹא אֶל־הַמַּחֲנֶה | yā-ḇō ’el-ha-ma-ḥa-nêh} ‘he may enter into the camp.’ The string of vav conjunctions preserves the chronological and procedural flow required for ritual reintegration.
In context — Leviticus 16:28
And the one who burns them shall wash his garments and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may enter the camp.
