  • 1 Corinthians 14:33 It is also worthy of remark , that every tribe offers the same kind of offering , and in the same quantity , to shew , that as every tribe was equally indebted to God for its support , so each should testify an equal sense of obligation. Besides , the vessels were all sacrificial vessels , and the animals were all clean animals , such as were proper for sacrifices; and therefore everything was intended to point out , that the people were to be a holy people , fully dedicated to God , and that God was to dwell among them. Thus , as the priests , altar , etc. were anointed , and the tabernacle dedicated , so the people , by this offering , became consecrated to God. Therefore every act here was a religious act

On the seventh Both Jewish and Christian writers have been surprised that this work of offering went forward on the seventh day . which they suppose to have been a sabbath as well as on the other days. But .

We have already seen that every act was a religious act; and we may rest assured , that no day was too holy for the performance of such acts as are here recorded. Here it may be observed , that Moses has thought fit to set down distinctly , and at full length , the offerings of the princes of each tribe , though , as we have already observed , they were the very same , both in quantity and quality , that an honourable mention might be made of every one apart , and that none might think himself in the least neglected.

When the twelve days of the dedication commenced cannot be easily determined; but the computation of F. Scacchus seems highly probable. He supposes , that the tabernacle being erected the first day of the first month of the second year after the departure from Egypt , seven days were spent in the consecration of it , and the altar , etc.; and that on the eight day , Moses began to consecrate Aaron and his sons , which lasted seven days more. Then , on the fourteenth day of that month , was the feast day of unleavened bread; which God commanded to be observed in the first month

  • Numbers 9:1 and which lasted till the 22nd. The rest of the month , we may well suppose , was spent in giving , receiving , and delivering the laws contained in the book of Leviticus; after which , on the first day of the second month , Moses began to number the people , according to the command in the beginning of this book; which may be supposed to have lasted three days. On the fourth , the Levites were numbered; on the next day we may suppose they were offered to God , and given to the Priests; and on the sixth , they were expiated and consecrated , as we read in the following chapter. On the seventh day , their several charges were assigned them
  • Numbers 4:1 after which , he supposes the princes began to offer , on the eight day of the second month , for the dedication of the altar , which lasted till the nineteenth day inclusively; and on the twentieth day of this month , they removed from Sinai to the wilderness of Paran

By this we may at once see , that though the place in which they now sojourned was a wilderness as to cities , villages , and regular inhabitants , yet there was plenty of pasturage; else the Israelites could not have furnished these cattle , with all the sacrifices necessary for different occasions , and especially for the passover , which must of itself have required an immense number of lambs , when each family of 600 ,000 males was obliged to provide one
