February 15: Numbers 7:1–89



Offerings at the Tabernacle's Consecration – Numbers 7

  • On the day that Moses consecrates the tabernacle and its furnishings and utensils, the chiefs of the tribes bring their offerings before the Lord (six wagons and twelve oxen). God tells Moses to accept them so they can be used in the service of the tent of meeting. Moses gives them to the Levites at God's instruction.
  • Over twelve days, the head of each tribe (one per day) gives his offering for the tabernacle. Each offering includes a silver plate whose weight is 130 shekels and a silver basin of 70 shekels, both full of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering; one golden dish of 10 shekels, full of incense; one bull, one ram, and a one-year-old lamb for burnt offering; a male goat for a sin offering; and two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five one-year-old male lambs fora peace offering.
  • When Moses goes into the tent of meeting, he hears a voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim on the mercy seat.
