* 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, 1. there is no absolute proof that this seventh
day of offering was a sabbath. 2. Were it even so, could
the people be better employed than in thus consecrating
themselves and their services to the Lord? 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.

Whether there were any prayers made for the gracious
acceptance of the sacrifices which should be hereafter
offered on the altar, we are not informed; but the sacrifices
themselves were of the nature of supplications, and it is
probable, that they who offered them, made humble petitions
along with them.

* On the tenth day.
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 (ch. 9), 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, (ch. 4;) 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. (ch. 10:11, 12.)

* eleventh day.
Dr. Adam Clarke remarks, that the Hebrew form of expression
here, and in the 78th verse, has something curious in it;
{beyom âshtey âsar yom,} "in the day, the first and tenth
day;" {beyom shenim âsar 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.

The oblations and sacrifices enumerated in verses 13 to 88
were simple and plain, though costly and magnificent. On
this occasion we find there were offered 12 silver chargers,
each weighing 130 shekels; 12 silver bowls, each 70 shekels;
12 golden spoons, each 10 shekels; making the total amount of
silver vessels 2,400 shekels, and that of golden vessels, 120
shekels. A silver charger, at 130 shekels, reduced to troy
weight, makes 75 oz. 9 dwts. 16 8/31 gr.; and a silver bowl,
at 70 shekels, amounts to 40 oz. 12 dwts. 21 21/31 gr. The
total weight of the 12 chargers is therefore 905 oz. 16 dwts.
3 3/31 gr.; and that of the 12 bowls, 487 oz. 14 dwts. 20
4/31 gr.; making the total weight of silver vessels 1,393 oz.
10 dwts. 23 7/31 gr. The golden spoons, allowing each to be
5 oz. 16 dwts. 3 3/31 gr., amount to 69 oz. 3 dwts. 13 5/31
gr. Besides these, there were for sacrifice--

Lambs . . . . . . 12
Goats . . . . . . 24
Rams . . . . . . 60

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. (ch. 9.)

1 How the lamps are to be lighted.
5 The consecration of the Levites.
23 The age and time of their service.
When this was spoken, says Bp. Patrick, is not certain. If
Moses went into the tabernacle immediately after the princes
had offered, (ch. 7:89,) it may be thought he then spake
these things unto him; but both this and what follows,
concerning the Levites, seem rather to have been delivered
after the order for giving them to the priests, and
appointing their several charges. (ch. 3; 4.) But some
other things intervening, which depended upon what had been
ordered respecting their camp, and that of the Israelites,
Moses omits this until he had stated them, and some other
matters which he had received from God. (See ch. 7:11.)
