7:1 Factum est autem in die qua complevit Moyses tabernaculum, et erexit illud, unxitque et sanctificavit cum omnibus vasis suis, altare similiter et omnia vasa ejus :
*H And it came to pass in the day that Moses had finished the tabernacle, and set it up, and had anointed and sanctified it with all its vessels, the altar likewise and all the vessels thereof,
Ver. 1. The day. The second of the second month, the year after the Hebrews left Egypt. We might read this chapter immediately after the 10th of Leviticus.
* Footnote * Exodus 40 : 16
And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
7:2 obtulerunt principes Israel et capita familiarum, qui erant per singulas tribus, praefectique eorum, qui numerati fuerant,
The princes of Israel and the heads of the families, in every tribe, who were the rulers of them who had been numbered, offered
A.M. 2514.
7:3 munera coram Domino sex plaustra tecta cum duodecim bobus. Unum plaustrum obtulere duo duces, et unum bovem singuli, obtuleruntque ea in conspectu tabernaculi.
*H Their gifts before the Lord, six wagons covered, and twelve oxen. Two princes offered one wagon, and each one an ox, and they offered them before the tabernacle.
Ver. 3. Covered. Destined to carry some parts of the tabernacle. C. — The Sept. use a term which, according to Hesychius, denotes the chariots in which people of quality travelled, Lampenes. M.
7:4 Ait autem Dominus ad Moysen :
And the Lord said to Moses:
7:5 Suscipe ab eis ut serviant in ministerio tabernaculi, et trades ea Levitis juxta ordinem ministerii sui.
Receive them from them to serve in the ministry of the tabernacle, and thou shalt deliver them to the Levites according to the order of their ministry.
7:6 Itaque cum suscepisset Moyses plaustra et boves, tradidit eos Levitis.
Moses therefore receiving the wagons and the oxen, delivered them to the Levites.
7:7 Duo plaustra et quatuor boves dedit filiis Gerson, juxta id quod habebant necessarium.
Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gerson, according to their necessity.
7:8 Quatuor alia plaustra et octo boves dedit filiis Merari secundum officia et cultum suum, sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis.
*H The other four wagons, and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their offices and service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Ver. 8. Four. The sons of Merari were not very numerous, (C. iv. 44,) and they had the heaviest parts of the tabernacle to carry. The metal alone would weigh 274,875 Roman pounds, of 12 ounces each; not to mention the pillars, &c. If 100 waggons carried each 3000 pounds, and every man 50, they would not carry one half; so that the people must have furnished them with many more waggons besides these four of the princes. Jansen. C. — Abulensis thinks the Merarites carried all that was not laid on the four waggons. M.
7:9 Filiis autem Caath non dedit plaustra et boves : quia in sanctuario serviunt, et onera propriis portant humeris.
*H But to the sons of Caath he gave no wagons or oxen: because they serve in the sanctuary and carry their burdens upon their own shoulders.
Ver. 9. Serve in removing the most sacred vessels of the sanctuary. C. iv. 4. — Shoulders, out of respect. Yet the ark itself was placed on a cart, (2 K. vi. 3. H.) improperly. D.
7:10 Igitur obtulerunt duces in dedicationem altaris, die qua unctum est, oblationem suam ante altare.
*H And the princes offered for the dedication of the altar on the day when it was anointed, their oblation before the altar.
Ver. 10. That day. About that time; the ceremony lasted at least 12 days, v. 84. T.
7:11 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen : Singuli duces per singulos dies offerant munera in dedicationem altaris.
*H And the Lord said to Moses: Let each of the princes one day after another offer their gifts for the dedication of the altar.
Ver. 11. Altar of holocausts, the dedication of which continued seven days. Ex. xxix. 36. M.
7:12 Primo die obtulit oblationem suam Nahasson filius Aminadab de tribu Juda :
The first day Nahasson the son of Aminadab of the tribe of Juda offered his offering:
7:13 fueruntque in ea acetabulum argenteum pondo centum triginta siclorum, phiala argentea habens septuaginta siclos, juxta pondus sanctuarii, utrumque plenum simila conspersa oleo in sacrificium :
*H And his offering was a silver dish weighing one hundred and thirty sicles, a silver bowl of seventy sicles according to the weight of the sanctuary, both full of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice:
Ver. 13. Dish, (acetabulum.) Heb. kaharath. See Ex. xxv. 29. This present of the prince of Juda weighed five Roman pounds. It was of silver, and consequently could not be used in the sanctuary, but in the court, (C.) at the altar of holocausts. T.
7:14 mortariolum ex decem siclis aureis plenum incenso :
*H A little mortar of ten sicles of gold full of incense:
Ver. 14. Mortar. Heb. caph, which the Vulgate commonly renders phiala, "a cup," (M.) may signify a spoon for incense, as it generally accompanies the censer. 3 K. vii. 20. It means literally "the palm of the hand." The high priest took his hands full of incense on the day of expiation. Lev. xvi. 12. But on other occasions, a spoon was probably used to throw incense on the altar, or on the coals which were burning in the censers. C.
7:15 bovem de armento, et arietem, et agnum anniculum in holocaustum :
An ox of the herd, and a ram, and lamb of a year old for a holocaust:

Ver. 23. Buck-goats, (hircos). The same as the he-goats given by Nahasson. The presents of all the 12 princes are equal; and Moses mentions them in detail with equal honour. They give them according to the order in which they encamped. Juda, with his two tribes, first; then Ruben, &c.
