SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:11

Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Ofrecerán su ofrenda, un príncipe un día, y otro príncipe otro día, a la dedicación del altar.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. And the Lord said unto Moses , etc.] For before this was said to him, even what follows, Moses knew not, as the same writer observes, how they should offer, in what order, whether according to their birth, or whether according to the journeying of their camps, or whether they should offer together, or one after another, one day after another f75 ; this affair is set in a clear light: they shall offer their offering each prince on his day ; one on one day, and the other on the next, and so on successively for twelve days running; and this was ordered for the greater solemnity of the service, and that it might be taken notice of, and each have the honour and credit of it; and this was done, not according to the order of their birth, but as their standards were fixed, first Judah, and those under him, and so the rest in course: for the dedicating of the altar ; (see Numbers 7:10).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-89 - The princes and great men were most forward in the service of God. Her is an example to those in authority, and of the highest rank; the ought to use their honour and power, their estate and interest, to promote religion and the service of God in the places where they live Though it was a time of joy and rejoicing, yet still, in the midst of their sacrifices, we find a sin-offering. As, in our best services, we are conscious that there is sin, there should be repentance, even in our most joyful services. In all approaches to God we must by fait look to Christ as the Sin-offering. They brought their offerings eac on a day. God's work should not be done confusedly, or in a hurry; tak time, and we shall have done the sooner, or, at least, we shall have done the better. If services are to be done for twelve days together we must not call it a task and a burden. All their offerings were the same; all the tribes of Israel had an equal share in the altar, and a equal interest in the sacrifices offered upon it. He who now spake to Moses, as the Shechinah or Divine Majesty, from between the Cherubim was the Eternal Word, the second Person in the Trinity; for all God' communion with man is by his Son, by whom he made the world, and rule the church, who is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever __________________________________________________________________
