Exegesis
In the second clause, ve-nislach {וְנִסְלַח | wə-nis-lā-ḥ} ‘and it shall be forgiven’ (Nifal perfect) marks the result, with lo {לוֹ | lōʾ} ‘to him’ and me-chatato {מֵחַטָּאתוֹ | mē-ḥaṭ-ṭātô} ‘from his sin,’ again narrowed by asher chata. The coordination underscores the causal link between sacrifice and pardon, while repeated reference to his sin emphasizes personal accountability.
