Exegesis
The vav-consecutive verb form ve-kippēr {וְכִפֶּר | wə·kippēr} sequentially introduces objects marked by the particle et {אֶת־ | et}: sanctuary of holiness, tent of meeting, and altar, then shifts to recipients with the prepositional phrase ve-al {וְעַל | wə·ʿal}: the priests and the people of the assembly. This syntactic pattern of object pile followed by recipients delineates the scope of the ritual.
The construct chain miqdāš ha-qōḏēš {מִקְדַּשׁ הַקֹּדֶשׁ | miqdāš ha-qōḏēš} specifies “sanctuary of holiness,” and the nominal phrase ʾōhel mōʿēd {אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד | ʾō·hel mō·ʿēd} identifies the “tent of meeting” as the cultic locus.
