Exegesis
The second clause begins with ve-hiktir {וְהִקְטִ֣יר | wə-hiqṭîr} “and he will burn as incense,” directing the offering to ha-khelev {הַחֵ֔לֶב | ha-ḥēlev} “the fat.”
In context — Leviticus 17:6
And the priest shall throw the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and shall burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
