Exegesis
The verse employs a vav-consecutive Hifil imperfect in vehikravtem {וְהִקְרַבְתֶּ֣ם | wə·hiq·rā·ḇtem} ‘you shall bring near’ to introduce the ritual command.
In context — Leviticus 23:18
And you shall bring near with the bread seven lambs without blemish one year old, one young bull, and two rams; these shall be a burnt offering to the LORD , with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
