and the officiating priest

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") + definite article הַ ("the") + noun כֹּהֵן; common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). Though morphologically a noun, כֹּהֵן originates as an active participle from the root כהן.
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּהֵן derives from the verbal root כהן, "to officiate" or "to serve as priest," and is itself an active participial form meaning "one who officiates." Rendering it "the officiating priest" preserves this active sense while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form with the definite article ("the") and the prefixed conjunction וְ ("and").
