Números 7

Números 7

Clarke remarks, that the Hebrew form of expression here, and in the 78th verse, has something curious in it; {beyom ashtey asar yom,} "in the day, the first and tenth day;" {beyom shenim asar yom,} "in the day, two and tenth day." But this is the idiom of the language; and to an original Hebrew, our almost anomalous words eleventh and twelfth, would appear as strange. Pagiel: Nu 1:13 2:27 On the eleventh day it was Pagiel the son of Ochran, leader of the sons of Asher; Numbers 7:73 his offering was one silver dish whose weight was one hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering; his offering was one silver dish whose weight was one hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering; Numbers 7:74 one gold pan of ten shekels, full of incense; one gold pan of ten shekels, full of incense Numbers 7:75 one bull, one ram, one male lamb one year old, for a burnt offering; one bull, one ram, one male lamb one year old, for a burnt offering Burnt offering (05930) see note on 'olah Numbers 7:76 one male goat for a sin offering; one male goat for a sin offering Numbers 7:77 and for the sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, five male lambs one year old.

Peace offerings (08002) see note on selem/shelem Numbers 7:89 Now when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim, so He spoke to him. to speak: Nu 12:8 Ex 33:9-11 he heard: Nu 1:1 Ex 25:22 Lev 1:1 Heb 4:16 two cherubims: Ex 25:18-21 1Sa 4:4 1Ki 6:23 Ps 80:1 1Pe 1:12 Related Passages: Exodus 33:9-11+ Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and the LORD would speak with Moses. 10 When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent. 11 Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent. Exodus 25:17-21+ “You shall make a mercy seat (kapporet; Lxx is hilasterion) of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. 18“You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19“Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 20“The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 21“You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. The Mercy Seat with Two Cherubim GOD SPEAKS TO MOSES IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES Jensen - Just as the Nazirite chapter describing the vows of an Israelite ended with the bright note of God’s benediction, so this gift chapter, describing the offerings of the princes, ends with the warm note of communication by God. When Moses approached the Lord in the tent of meeting “to speak with him,” then “he heard the Voice speaking unto him” (Nu 7:89). This was the Lord’s response to the readiness with which the princes gave their support to His sanctuary. Now when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim, so He spoke to him - Note that Moses saw no form but only heard the voice. "Two things are involved here: divine revelation and divinely chosen leadership.... God spoke to Moses about three important matters: caring for the lamps (Num. 8:1–4), dedicating the Levites (Nu 8:5–26), and obeying His guidance as the nation marched to Canaan (Nu 9:15–10:10)." (Wiersbe) Believer's Study Bible - The "mercy seat" was atop the ark of the Testimony and rested between two cherubim, who were the guardians of God's holiness (Gen. 3:22-24; cf. Ex. 25:18, note). Numbers 7:89 Our Daily Homily F B Meyer Moses … heard the voice speaking unto him,… and He spake unto him. The meaning of this verse seems to be that when Moses went into the Holy Place to speak with God he became conscious of the Divine voice, that opened out to him the thoughts and purposes of God in such a way that he was caught up on the current and borne back to God. This is the true conception of prayer. We often go to God with our thoughts and desires, and having uttered them we go our way. We do not wait long enough to see the cherubim and the light of the Shechinah, or hear the Divine voice. Thus our prayers fail of their answer. We do not ask what is according to the will and mind of our Heavenly Father; and the heavens seem like brass. We have not because we ask not, or because we ask amiss. We must ask in faith, nothing wavering. The true conception of prayer is that it originates in the purpose of God, and passes from the Father to the Son, who is also the Head and Representative of his people. From Jesus it is brought into our hearts by the blessed Spirit, who unites the Head with each member of the mystical body; and from the saints it returns to the source from which it came. If, then, we would pray aright, we should wait before God until the Holy Spirit suggests what we should pray for, and indeed begins to plead within us for the saints. Silence, solitude, waiting before God; the return to God of his own thoughts; the being burdened with the weighty matters that lie heavily on the heart of Jesus — such is the noblest kind of prayer. It is those who wait upon the Lord that renew their strength, that mount up with wings as eagles; that run and are not weary, that walk and are not faint (Isaiah 40:31). G Campbell
