to the officiating priest

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun כֹּהֵן, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa).
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּהֵן derives from the verbal root כהן, "to officiate as a priest," and originally denotes one who performs priestly service. The prefixed לַ indicates "to" with the definite article, and the form is masculine singular absolute, hence "to the officiating priest."
