one male goat
The phrase "one male goat" refers to the specific animal chosen for the sin offering. In Hebrew, the word for goat is "sa'ir," which often denotes a hairy or shaggy goat. The selection of a male goat is significant in the sacrificial system of ancient Israel. Male goats were commonly used in offerings due to their value and symbolism. In the context of the sin offering, the male goat represents the substitutionary atonement for sin, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who bore the sins of humanity. The choice of a single goat underscores the personal and individual nature of atonement, reminding believers of the personal relationship each person must have with God.

for a sin offering
The term "sin offering" in Hebrew is "chatta'ah," which signifies an offering made to atone for sin. This offering was a crucial part of the Levitical sacrificial system, designed to restore the relationship between the Israelites and God when they had transgressed His commandments. The sin offering was not merely a ritualistic act but a profound expression of repentance and the need for divine forgiveness. It foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who, as the Lamb of God, took upon Himself the sins of the world. The sin offering in Numbers 7:34 serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the grace of God in providing a means for reconciliation. It calls believers to a life of holiness and gratitude for the redemptive work of Christ.
