The offerings of the princes at the dedication of the
tabernacle. (1-9) The offerings of the princes at the dedication of the altar.
(10-89)
Verses 1-9 The
offering of the princes to the service of the tabernacle was not made till it
was fully set up. Necessary observances must always take place of free-will
offerings. The more any are advanced, the greater opportunity they have of
serving God and their generation. No sooner was the tabernacle set up, than
provision is made for the removal of it. Even when but just settled in the
world, we must be preparing for changes and removes, especially for the great
change.
Verses 10-89 The
princes and great men were most forward in the service of God. Here is an
example to those in authority, and of the highest rank; they ought to use their
honour and power, their estate and interest, to promote religion and the service
of God in the places where they live. Though it was a time of joy and rejoicing,
yet still, in the midst of their sacrifices, we find a sin-offering. As, in our
best services, we are conscious that there is sin, there should be repentance,
even in our most joyful services. In all approaches to God we must by faith look
to Christ as the Sin-offering. They brought their offerings each on a day. God's
work should not be done confusedly, or in a hurry; take time, and we shall have
done the sooner, or, at least, we shall have done the better. If services are to
be done for twelve days together, we must not call it a task and a burden. All
their offerings were the same; all the tribes of Israel had an equal share in
the altar, and an equal interest in the sacrifices offered upon it. He who now
spake to Moses, as the Shechinah or Divine Majesty, from between the Cherubim,
was the Eternal Word, the second Person in the Trinity; for all God's communion
with man is by his Son, by whom he made the world, and rules the church, who is
the same yesterday, today, and for ever.
