Exegesis
The conjunction v’et {וְאֶת | wə-’ēt} links khelbam {חֶלְבָּם | ḥel-bām} ‘their fat,’ which the Hiphil imperfect taqtir {תַּקְטִיר | taq-tîr} ‘burn as incense’ consumes as an isheh {אִשֶּׁה | ’iš-šê} fire-offering, producing aroma (l’reiach nichoach {לְרֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ | lə-rê-aḥ nī-ḥō-aḥ}).
In context — Numbers 18:17
However, the firstborn of an ox, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering by fire for a pleasing aroma to the LORD .
