Exegesis
The verb veasahu {וְעָשָׂהוּ | wə-’ăśāhû} ‘and he shall make it’ with hattat {חַטָּאת | ḥaṭ-ṭāṯ} ‘sin offering’ uses the vav-consecutive and pronominal suffix to denote transformation of the animal into its cultic function. Hebrew VSO order is rendered into English SVO for clarity while preserving the sequence of ritual acts.
In context — Leviticus 16:9
And Aaron shall bring near the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD , and he shall make it a sin offering .
