SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:48
El séptimo día, el príncipe de los hijos de Efraín, Elisama hijo de Amiud.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 7:48
Verse 48. On the seventh day] 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 recorded here.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 48. On the seventh day Elishama the son of Ammihud, prince of the children of Ephraim, [offered] .] (see Numbers 1:10 2:18).
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 __________________________________________________________________
