Study note

Setting — The speaker addresses the Israelite assembly, prescribing the sacrificial additions for a specific festival day between the instructions for the fifth and sixth days.

The words — חַטָּ֖את (cha.Tat) means “a sin offering,” and הַ/תָּמִ֔יד (ha./ta.Mid) denotes “the continual” or regular sacrifice.

The thread — The verse establishes a pattern of appending a specific atonement sacrifice to the standard daily ritual, a structural requirement that recurs throughout the festival calendar (Numbers 29:29–38).

Why it lands — It requires the reader to recognize that communal worship demands both routine devotion and targeted atonement, applied consistently across every festival day.

And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
