Two hundred (Ezra 2:65) Two hundred and forty-five (Nehemiah 7:67) What Does Numbers 7:76 Mean oneThe single number is deliberate; it brings focus. • One animal per tribe underscored personal responsibility (see Numbers 7:12). • Scripture often uses “one” to highlight unity and sufficiency—“one Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Ephesians 4:5). • Just as each leader brought one goat, God’s plan culminates in one perfect sacrifice—Christ (Hebrews 10:12). male The animal had to be male, reflecting God-given patterns in earlier sacrifices. • “If one’s offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present a male without defect” (Leviticus 1:3). • A male sacrifice pointed forward to the incarnate Son, the last Adam (Romans 5:15). • Strength and headship are represented, reminding Israel that the offering must come from the best. goat Goats were regularly linked to sin offerings. • “He must bring an unblemished male goat” (Leviticus 4:23). • On the Day of Atonement two goats pictured substitution and removal of sin (Leviticus 16:7-10). • Their hardy nature made them accessible for every tribe, reinforcing that atonement is available to all. for This small word signals purpose—atonement. • “For the life of the flesh is in the blood… to make atonement for your souls” (Leviticus 17:11). • Every offering looked forward, for God’s people needed covering before approaching Him (Hebrews 9:22). a The indefinite article shows that while each tribe brought “a” goat, the offering was still personal and specific. • “A lamb for a household” at Passover (Exodus 12:3) mirrors the idea: one designated substitute stands in the sinner’s place. sin Sin is the barrier the offering addresses. • “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). • Yet “the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). • The verse in Numbers reminds Israel—and us—that sin cannot be ignored; it must be dealt with through sacrifice. offering An offering is something given up to God to restore fellowship. • “By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Hebrews 10:10). • Old-covenant offerings were temporary, anticipating the once-for-all gift at Calvary (John 1:29). • Each tribal leader’s goat testified that access to God demands blood shed in place of the sinner. summary Numbers 7:76 records “one male goat for a sin offering;” and every word matters. One—because atonement is singular and sufficient. Male—representing strength and pointing to Christ. Goat—chosen by God as a fitting symbol of substitution. For—signaling its purpose. A—making the sacrifice personal. Sin—identifying the problem. Offering—describing the God-ordained solution. Together they remind us that God, in His mercy, provides a substitute so His people can live in covenant fellowship with Him, a truth fully realized in Jesus, the final and perfect sin offering.
