Exegesis
The coordinate velavash {וְלָבַשׁ | wǝ-lā-ḇaš} ‘and he shall put on’ governs two object phrases: et-bigdei ha-bad {אֶת־בִּגְדֵי הַבָּד | ʾet-bǐg-dē ḥǎ-baḏ} ‘the garments of the linen’ and bigdei hakkodesh {בִּגְדֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ | bǐg-dē hak-qō-ḏēš} ‘garments of the holy’, reinforcing the required ritual attire. This structure preserves the sequential commissioning and liturgical detail of the Hebrew text.
