Numbers 7:75

Study note

Setting — The verse records a specific portion of the dedicatory gifts presented by the tribal leaders for the altar’s consecration. It appears in a sequential list of offerings following the previous day’s contributions.

The words — The text specifies `par` (young bull) and `keves` (lamb), both modified by `echad` (one), establishing the exact count and type of animals designated for the burnt offering.

The thread — The verse belongs to the repeated sacrificial inventory that runs through Numbers 7:70–80, where each leader brings an identical set of animals and vessels for the altar’s inauguration.

Why it lands — It demands precise attention to the liturgical accounting and the uniformity of the offerings, leaving no room for ambiguity about what was provided for the burnt offering.
