Exegesis
The opening vav-consecutive is realized in the verb va’asitem {וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֛ם | vaʿăśîtem} ‘and you shall prepare’, marking the shift into prescriptive ritual instruction.
In context — Leviticus 23:19
And you shall prepare one male goat of the goats for a sin offering , and two lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings .
