Study note

Setting — The text concludes the fourth day’s festival instructions, directing the Israelites to add a specific provision to the established daily routine.

The words — חַטָּ֑את (cha.Tat) translates literally as “a sin offering,” and מִ/לְּ/בַד֙ (mi./le./Vad) means “besides” or “in addition to.”

The thread — This structural pattern repeats in Numbers 29:11, where the same goat-and-offering formula is applied to a different festival day.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to recognize that prescribed worship demands explicit atonement provisions layered over routine devotion.

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.
