THE KEY

The feast carries the same ordered pattern forward: what addresses the missing and what rises remain distinct within one whole.

THE MEANING

This verse places the seventh-month feast inside a recurring rhythm: the offering for the missing and the offering that rises are named alongside the meal and oil. Distinct forms remain held together in one ordered observance.

THE ROOT

חַטָּאת

ḥaṭṭāʾt

GROWS FROM

חטא

ḥṭʾ

To miss, fail, or go astray.

“sin offering” in this verse is ḥaṭṭāʾt. The offering’s name carries the idea of what is missed, giving the phrase more depth than a generic act of sacrifice. Beside the offering that rises, it keeps addressing the missing distinct from ascent.

ALSO GROWS

ḥāṭāʾ: To miss, fail, or go astray.

חָטָא

It makes the root’s sense of missing audible within the offering for the missing.

ḥēṭʾ: A miss, failure, or offense.

חֵטְא

It shows the condition the offering addresses without reducing the verse’s offering list to one undifferentiated act.

עֹלָה

ʿōlāh

GROWS FROM

עלה

ʿlh

To go up or ascend.

“burnt offering” in this verse is ʿōlāh. The Hebrew name carries the movement of rising. Set beside the offering for the missing, it reveals two distinct movements held within the feast’s ordered pattern.

ALSO GROWS

ʿālāh: To go up or rise.

עָלָה

This verb makes the upward movement within the burnt offering’s name clear.

ʿaliyyāh: Ascent or going up.

עֲלִיָּה

It shares the root’s sense of rising and brings out the movement concealed by the English label.

THE PATTERN

A recurring calendar gathers distinct offerings into an ordered annual rhythm.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.

Leviticus 23:34 · KJVThe same date and seven-day feast establish a recurring rhythm for the seventh month.

And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days:

Numbers 29:12 · KJVThe feast gathers a set time, a gathered people, and seven days into one ordered observance.

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

Hebrews 10:3 · KJVThe yearly recurrence carries remembrance through the repeated cycle of sacrifices.

THE THREAD

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

Numbers 29:16 · KJV

This verse names the same Hebrew ⁨חַטָּאת⁩ (ḥaṭṭāʾt, offering for the missing) beside burnt and meal offerings in the same feast cycle. The shared root makes the distinction tangible: each offering keeps its own place within one ordered whole.
