Exegesis
Vayekhaper {וַיְכַפֵּ֖ר | way-ḵap-pēr} ‘and he made atonement’ uses the Piel imperfect with vav-consecutive to underscore active reconciliation on behalf of al-benei Yisra’el {עַל־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʼal-bə-nê yiś-rā-ʼēl} ‘for the sons of Israel’. The English structure preserves the Hebrew emphasis on inheritance, covenantal loyalty, and zeal-driven redemption.
In context — Numbers 25:13
And it shall be for him and for his descendants after him a covenant of everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God and he made atonement for the children of Israel.
