Exegesis
The Hebrew text unfolds as a sequence of ritual commands marked by the vav-consecutive: velaqqach {וְלָקַ֨ח | wə-lā-qā-ḥ} ‘and he shall take’, vetaval {וְטָבַ֣ל | wə-ṭā-val} ‘and he shall dip’, vehizzah {וְהִזָּ֤ה | wə-hi-zzāh} ‘and he shall sprinkle’.
In context — Numbers 19:18
And a man who is clean shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent and on all the vessels , on the persons who were there, and on the one who touched the bone or the slain or the dead or the grave.
