Exegesis
A sequence of vav-linked Qal imperatives—kach {קַח | qāḥ} ‘take’, u-ten {וּתְן | wə-ten} ‘and put’, ve-sim {וְשִׂם | wə-sîm} ‘and place’, ve-holech {וְהוֹלֵךְ | wə-hōlêk} ‘and go’, and ve-kapper {וְכַפֵּר | wə-kappēr} ‘and atone’—conveys urgent ritual action.
In context — Numbers 16:46
And Moses said to Aaron, “Take the censer and put fire on it from the altar, add incense, and hurry to the congregation to make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out before the LORD ; the plague has begun.”
