Exegesis
The exclusion mî-lə-ḇaḏ {מִלְּבַד | mî-lə-ḇaḏ} ‘apart from’ introduces ʾêl ha-kip-pû-rîm {אֵיל הַכִּפֻּרִים | ʾêl ha-kip-pû-rîm} ‘ram of atonement’ and its relative clause ʾă-šer yə-kha-p̄er-bô ʿă-lāw {אֲשֶׁר יְכַפֶּר־בּוֹ עָלָיו | ʾă-šer yə-kha-p̄er-bô ʿă-lāw} ‘which atones for him’. This structure contrasts familial obligation with cultic atonement, highlighting priestly mediation and divine justice.
In context — Numbers 5:8
And if the one wronged has no redeemer to whom restitution for the wrong may be restored, the restitution to be restored shall belong to the LORD for the priest, apart from the ram of atonement which atones for him.
