Exegesis
The subject ha-ko-hen {הַכֹּהֵן | ha-kō-hēn} ‘the priest’ precedes the instrumental phrase be-eyl ha-asham {בְּאֵיל הָאָשָׁם | bə-ʾêl hā-ʾāšām} ‘with the ram of the guilt offering,’ specifying the sacrificial agent.
In context — Leviticus 19:22
And the priest will make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven for his sin which he has committed.
