Study note

Setting — Moses addresses the Israelite assembly in the wilderness, continuing the legal instructions for sacrificial protocols. The words — The verse is structured around כָּכָה (Ka.khah), meaning "thus," and יֵעָשֶׂה (ye.'a.Seh), meaning "it will be done," framing the command as a fixed procedure. The thread — This statement directly applies the wine specification from Numbers 15:10 and establishes the universal scope clarified in Numbers 15:12. Why it lands — The text requires the identical ritual pattern to be executed for every individual bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought forward.
