Exegesis
The verse begins with vechibes ha'osef et-efer ha-parah et-be-gadav {וְכִבֶּס הָאֹסֵף אֶת־אֵפֶר הַפָּרָה אֶת־בְּגָדָיו | wə-ki-bes hā-'ō-sef 'et-'ê-fer hā-pā-rah 'et bə-ğa-dāw} where the vav consecutive links the piel perfect “and he shall wash” to the participle “the gatherer,” marked by two direct object indicators.
In context — Numbers 19:10
And the one who gathers the ashes of the cow shall wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening. It shall be for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who sojourns among them as an everlasting statute .
