Num 7:2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who [were] the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
Ver. 2. **The princes of Israel offered.** ] So they did at the making of the tabernacle, and at the building of the temple, [Exodus 35:27](../../../kjv/exodus/35/27) ** 1Ch 29:6-8 which was but to give God of his own; as David aeknowledgeth with all thankfulness, 1Ch 29:14 τα σα εκ των σων σοι προσφερομεν . *a* Of thine own we offer unto thee, said Justinian, when he had offered up, in the temple of Sophia, at Constantinople, a communion table that had in it, saith the author, all the riches of land and sea.
*a* Cedrenus.

Num 7:8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Ver. 8. **And four waggons and eight oxen.** ] Double the number of what the Gershonites had, because their carriage was heavier; God proportions the burden to the back: none of his shall be oppressed, though "pressed out of measure above strength," 2Co 1:8 as Joseph was, whom the archers hated, and shot at: "But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob," ever reserved for a dead lift. Gen 49:23-24 ** Mat 8:17 *See Trapp on "* Gen 49:23 *"* *See Trapp on "* Gen 49:24 *"* *See Trapp on "* Mat 8:17 *"*

Num 7:9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them [was that] they should bear upon their shoulders.
Ver. 9. **Bear upon their shoulders.** ] Therefore when David carted the ark, as the Philistines had done before, God was angry, and made a breach upon Uzza, because they sought him not in due order. 1Ch 15:13

Num 7:11 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
Ver. 11. **For the dedicating of the altar.** ] No warrant at all for Popish dedications of altars, churches, religious houses built for superstitious uses, as appears in stories: *a* as *pro remissione et redemptione peccatorum; pro remedio et liberatione animae; pro amore caelestis patriae; pro salute regnorum; in honorem gloriosae virginis, &c.*
*a* *Act. and Mon.*

**
Num 7:12 *And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:*
Ver. 12. **Of the tribe of Judah.** ] *Ut ubique superemineat praerogativa Christi a Iuda oriundi.*

**
Num 7:17 *And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this [was] the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.*
Ver. 17. **And for peace offerings.** ] Sacrifices of all sorts they brought, whereby, having made their peace, they kept a feast with joy before the Lord, for his mercy to them through the merits of his Son.

Num 7:18 On the second day Nethaneel the son of Zuar, prince of Issachar, did offer:
Ver. 18. **On the second day.** ] Their offerings are severally and largely described; to show how highly accepted in heaven.

Num 7:19 He offered [for] his offering one silver charger, the weight whereof [was] an hundred and thirty [shekels], one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
Ver. 19. **And when Moses was gone into, &c.** ] Scipio Africanus was wont, before day, to go into the Capitol, *in cellam Iovis,* and there to stay a great while, *quasi consultans de Rep. cum Iove,* as if he had advised with his god about the public businesses. *a*
*a* Gell., lib. vii., cap. 1.
