✦ What the text says

Summary

The verse lists the animals for the peace offering brought by Elizur son of Shedeur: two oxen, five rams, five goats, and five year-old lambs. It closes the enumeration with a formula identifying this as his specific offering.

Key words

Ze.vach ("[the] sacrifice of", H2077) — construct form linking directly to ha.she.la.Mim, meaning it is grammatically bound to the following noun, forming the phrase "sacrifice of the peace offerings."
she.la.Mim ("peace offerings", H8002) — masculine plural noun with definite article ha ("the", H9009), naming the category of sacrifice to which the animals belong.
cha.mi.Shah ("five", H2568) — this cardinal number appears three times (for rams, goats, lambs), each time following its noun rather than preceding it, a common Hebrew numeral pattern.
be.nei- ("sons of", H1121H) — construct plural of "son," used idiomatically with sha.Nah ("a year", H8141) to mean "year-old" or "of one year," describing the age of the lambs.
ka.re.Ban ("[was] [the] offering of", H7133A) — construct noun introducing the closing identification formula, linking the whole list back to the name 'e.li.Tzur ("Elizur", H0468).

What the text says

The verse opens with a conjunction u ("and", H9002) attached to the preposition le ("to", H9005), continuing a list from the preceding verses. The construct chain Ze.vach ha.she.la.Mim ("sacrifice of the peace offerings") sets the category, after which four types of animals are listed with their quantities: ba.Kar she.na.Yim ("oxen, two"), 'ei.Lim cha.mi.Shah ("rams, five"), 'a.tu.Dim cha.mi.Shah ("goats, five"), and ke.va.Sim be.nei-sha.Nah cha.mi.Shah ("lambs, sons of a year, five"). In each case, the noun precedes the number, a structural pattern repeated throughout this chapter's tribal offering lists.

The final clause uses the demonstrative zeh ("this", H2088) followed by the construct noun ka.re.Ban ("offering of", H7133A) to form a summary statement: "this [is] the offering of Elizur son of Shedeur." The construct chain continues with ben- ("son of", H1121A) linking Elizur to his father she.dei.'Ur ("Shedeur", H7707), a patronymic formula used to close each tribal leader's gift list in this chapter.

Differences between versions

The LXX renders cha.mi.Shah ("five", H2568) for the lambs as πέντε ἀμνάδας ἐνιαυσίας, using ἀμνάδας (a term that can indicate female lambs), while the Hebrew ke.va.Sim (H3532) and the Vulgate's agnos do not specify sex, only age (be.nei-sha.Nah, "year-old"/"anniculos").
