Also one male goat for a sin offering: See 28.15. One billy goat had to be sacrificed also on the first day of the Festival of Shelters to purify the Israelites.

Besides the continual burnt offering, its cereal offering and its drink offering: See 28.3-8. These offerings were made in the morning and evening of each day. Besides may be rendered “in addition to” (New Living Translation, Revised English Bible). In many languages it will be natural to start a new sentence here; for example, Good News Translation begins with “Offer these [sacrifices] in addition to…,” and Bible en français courant is similar with “All these sacrifices are in addition to…” (similarly Contemporary English Version). Both occurrences of the pronoun its refers to the continual burnt offering.
