Numbers 7:76

Study note

Setting — The text records a single item in a repeated tribal offering sequence, placed between the burnt offering in Numbers 7:75 and the peace offering in Numbers 7:77. It documents the specific contribution assigned to the altar dedication ceremony.

The words — אֶחָ֖ד ('e.Chad) translates literally to "one," and לְ/חַטָּֽאת\׃ (le./cha.Tat) means "to a sin offering." These terms anchor the verse to precise numerical and functional requirements.

The thread — The verse appears within the Numbers 7 offering sequence, directly following the burnt offering in Numbers 7:75 and preceding the peace offering in Numbers 7:77. It functions as a structural link in the daily sacrificial list.

Why it lands — The text specifies exactly one male goat must be presented for atonement. It requires strict adherence to the prescribed quantity and animal type without allowance for substitution.
