Exegesis
The coordinating vav ve-na-sa {וְנָשָׂא | wə-nā-śāʾ} ‘and he shall bear’ connects to chet-o {חֶטְאֽוֹ | ḥe-ṭʾô} ‘his sin,’ forming a result clause of legal consequence. In English, the Hebrew VSO order is rendered as SVO, and the intensifying repetition and stem nuances are preserved to reflect the distributive emphasis and intensified action.
