Study note
Setting — Pagiel son of Ocran presents his tribal contribution after the preceding leader completed his turn. The narrative positions this entry within the sequential record of chieftains bringing gifts at the sanctuary.
The words — The phrase לְזֶבַח הַשְּׁלָמִים (le./Ze.vach ha./she.la.Mim) literally renders "to the sacrifice of the peace offerings." The verse immediately quantifies the animals: two oxen, five rams, five goats, and five one-year-old lambs.
The thread — Numbers 7:77 extends the chapter’s pattern of individual tribal leaders submitting their designated livestock one by one. The specific inventory structure recurs throughout Numbers 7 as each chieftain concludes his assigned presentation.
Why it lands — The text requires precise accounting of the animal types and quantities assigned to Pagiel. It instructs the reader to distinguish this specific inventory from the entries of neighboring tribal leaders without merging the sequences.
