Exegesis
The appositional pair eil {אֵיל | ʼêl} ‘a ram’ and asham {אָשָׁם | ʼā-šām} ‘guilt offering’ completes the clause, mirroring Hebrew apposition. This Verb–Object–Location–Specification sequence foregrounds the obligatory nature of the ritual and highlights divine agency through fronting.
In context — Leviticus 19:21
And he shall bring his guilt offering to the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram as a guilt offering .
