Numbers 7
The offerings of the princes upon the dedication of the
tabernacle, ver. 1-9. Upon the dedication of the altar, ver. 10-88,
Which God graciously accepts, ver. 89.
Verse 1. On the day - It seems day is for time, and on the day, for about
the time. For all the princes did not offer these things upon one
and the same day, but on several days, as here it follows. And so
this chapter comes in its proper place, and those things were done
in the second month of the second year after the tabernacle and
altar, and all other instruments thereof were anointed, as is here
expressed; and after the Levites were separated to the service of
the tabernacle, and appointed to their several works, which was
done about a month after the tabernacle was erected, and after the
numbering of the people, chap. i, 2-49, when the princes here
employed in the offerings were first constituted; and after the
disposal of the tribes about the tabernacle, the order of which is
here observed in the time of their offerings.
Verse 2. Offered - In the manner and days hereafter mentioned.
Verse 3. Waggons - For the more convenient and safe carriage of such
things as were most cumbersome.
Verse 5. According to his service - More or fewer, as the nature of their
service and of the things to be carried required.
Verse 9. Upon their shoulders - Because of the greater worth and
holiness of the things which they carried.
Verse 10. The altar - Of burnt-offerings, and incense too, as appears
from the matter of their offerings. Not for the first dedication of
them, for it is apparent they were dedicated or consecrated before
this time by Moses and Aaron: but for a farther dedication of
them, these being the first offerings that were made for any
particular persons or tribes. In the day - That is, about the time, as
soon as it was anointed.
Verse 11. On his day - And in this offering they followed the order of
their camp, and not of their birth.
Verse 13. Charger - A large dish or platter; to be employed about the
altar of burnt-offering, or in the court; not in the sanctuary, for all
its vessels were of gold.
Verse 17. Peace-offerings - Which are more numerous because the
princes and priests, and some of the people made a feast before
the Lord out of them.
Verse 87. Their meal-offering - Which was not mentioned before,
because it was sufficiently understood from the law which
required it.
Verse 88. After it was anointed - Which words are very conveniently
added to explain in what sense he had so oft said, that this was
done in the day when it was anointed, namely, not exactly, but in
a latitude, a little after that it was anointed.
Verse 89. To speak with him - To consult God upon occasion. The
mercy-seat - Which Moses standing without the veil could easily
hear. And this seems to be added in this place, to shew that when
men had done their part, God was not wanting in the performance
of his part, and promise. God's speaking thus to Moses by an
audible voice, as if he had been cloathed with a body, was an
earnest of the incarnation of the Son of God, when in the fulness
of time the Word should be made flesh, and speak in the language
of the sons of men. That he who spake to Moses was the Eternal
Word, was the belief of many of the ancients. For all God's
communion with man is by his Son, who is the same yesterday,
today and for ever.
