Study note
Setting — God issues festival instructions to the Israelites through Moses for the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when the community gathers for a sacred assembly and a seven-day feast.
The words — חַטָּ֑את (cha.Tat) translates literally to a sin offering, and שְׂעִיר (se.'ir) denotes a male goat, specifying the exact animal required for the rite.
The thread — The male goat designated for a sin offering appears in Leviticus 16:5 and Leviticus 16:9, where the text assigns two goats for sin offerings and directs that one be chosen by lot for the LORD.
Why it lands — The verse mandates that the community supply one male goat alongside the standard atonement and burnt offerings, establishing a fixed procedural requirement for the festival sacrifices.

One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.
