“All the oxen for the burnt offering were twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their meat offering: and the kids of the goats for sin offering twelve.”
The total of the livestock for the burnt offering was twelve bulls, twelve rams, and twelve male lambs a year old, with their grain offering; and twelve male goats for a sin offering — the summary catalogs the animals: twelve bulls (one per tribe), twelve rams, twelve lambs, and twelve goats. The triple designation (burnt, sin, peace offerings) addresses all dimensions of Israel's covenant relationship with God.
