Exegesis
The vav-consecutive Hiphil imperfect vayyaqter {וַיַּקְטֵ֖ר | way-yăq-ṭēr} ‘and he burned’ advances the narrative, with al-ham-mizbeach {עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ | ʿal-ham-miz-bē-aḥ} ‘upon the altar’ marking the sacred locus. The repeated direct object marking underscores each element’s liturgical importance in the Priestly cult.
In context — Leviticus 9:13
And they presented the burnt offering to him piece by piece, together with the head, and he burned them on the altar .
