Exegesis
The verse opens with vehayah {וְהָיָה | wə-hā-yāh} ‘and it shall be’ introducing a legal clause, followed by the conditional particle im {אִם | ʾim} ‘if’.
In context — Numbers 15:24
And it shall be, if it has been done unintentionally from the eyes of the congregation, then all the congregation shall present one bull, a son of the herd, for a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the LORD , with its grain offering and its drink offering according to the ordinance , and one male goat for a sin offering.
