Study note

Setting — God commands Moses and the Israelites to add a specific sacrifice on the seventh day of the festival. This instruction immediately follows the detailed counts of bulls, rams, and lambs prescribed for the preceding days.

The words — The phrase וּשְׂעִיר־חַטָּאת (u./se.'ir-cha.Tat) translates literally as "and a male goat [of] a sin offering." The preposition מִלְּבַד (mi./le./Vad) specifies that this goat is presented "besides" or in addition to the established daily rites.

The thread — The identical directive to include one male goat alongside the regular burnt, grain, and drink offerings appears in Numbers 29:11, Numbers 29:22, and Numbers 29:25. This repetition structures the festival's ritual sequence across multiple days.

Why it lands — The text mandates the precise addition of a sin offering to the ongoing festival sacrifices without explanation or exception. It requires the worshiper to follow the exact ritual sequence as a fixed requirement of the ceremony.
