and to effect atonement-covering

Root	כפר (k-p-r)
Core Meanings	covering, wiping over, appeasing, ransoming, expiating
Semantic Range	to cover over (sin), to make atonement, to purge, to ransom, to reconcile, to appease wrath
Conceptual Significance	כפר expresses the central biblical concept of atonement as a covering that removes or neutralizes guilt and restores relationship. In priestly theology, it describes the ritual action by which impurity and sin are dealt with so that divine presence may remain among the people.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ ("and") + preposition לְ ("to") + Piel infinitive construct of כפר. The Piel stem conveys an intensive or factitive action: to bring about atonement by covering.
Rendering Rationale	The Piel stem intensifies the root idea of "covering" into the active sense of effecting or accomplishing atonement. Rendering it as "to effect atonement-covering" preserves the concrete imagery of covering inherent in כפר while reflecting the infinitive construct form with prefixed conjunction and preposition ("and to").
