Study note
Setting — The text records ongoing festival instructions given to Israel, positioned between the offerings for the fifteenth day and the prescribed sacrifices for the sixteenth day.
The words — חַטָּ֑את (cha.Tat) denotes a sin offering, while הַתָּמִיד (ha.Tamid) specifies the regular or continual burnt offering that frames this addition.
The thread — This pairing of a sin offering with the daily sacrifice recurs in the broader Numbers 28–29 festival cycle and traces back to Levitical regulations for atonement sacrifices.
Why it lands — The text commands the inclusion of a specific atonement animal alongside the standing daily ritual, requiring precise compliance with the prescribed sacrificial sequence.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
