7:83 For a sacrifice of deliverance: two heifers, five rams, five male goats, and five year-old ewe lambs. This was the gift of Ahira son of Enan.
Greek specifies heifers and ewe lambs; Hebrew has cattle and the masculine lamb term. These are consequential animal descriptions in the repeated offering inventory. The verse counts one recurrence of this difference.

Greek · Saints priority

Greek expressly includes libations, absent from this Hebrew summary.
7:88 Disparate
Hebrew · Rabbinic priority
7:88 All the cattle for the well-being sacrifice were twenty-four bulls, with sixty rams, sixty male goats, and sixty year-old lambs. This was the dedication offering for the altar after it was anointed.
Greek · Saints priority
7:88 All the cattle for the sacrifice of deliverance were twenty-four heifers, with sixty rams, sixty male goats, and sixty unblemished year-old ewe lambs. This was the dedication of the altar after the filling of his hands and after anointing him.
Bulls / heifers and lambs / ewe lambs make the sex contrast explicit in the summary. Greek adds unblemished and the hand-filling consecration clause; its final masculine pronouns do not grammatically match the neuter “altar,†so the ambiguity is preserved.
Divine Confirmation
7:89 Divergent
Hebrew · Rabbinic priority
7:89 When Moses entered the Tent of Meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the atonement cover on the Ark of Testimony, from between the two cherubim. He spoke to him.
Greek · Saints priority
7:89 When Moses entered the Tent of Testimony to speak with Him, he heard the voice of the Lord speaking to him from above the propitiatory cover on the Ark of Testimony, between the two cherubim. He spoke to him.
Greek explicitly names the Lord as the voice’s source. The final pronouns are left as in the sources; sanctuary and cover terminology also differs.
Apostolic comparison: Hebrews recalls the cherubim overshadowing the propitiatory cover in its account of the sanctuary. Numbers emphasizes the divine voice speaking from that location.
