Commentaries on Numbers 7:12
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12-83Verses 12-83 The several princes make their offerings in the order assigned to the tribes Numbers 2. It was doubtless the tribes themselves which presented these gifts through their chiefs. The twelve offerings are strictly alike, and were offered on twelve separate days.Read the comment

The careful listing of the gifts may reflect detailed record keeping…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 12-1712-17. He that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon ... of the tribe of Judah, &c.--Judah having had the precedence assigned to it, the prince or head of that tribe was the first admitted to offer as its representative; and his offering, as well as that of the others, is thought, from its costliness, to have been furnished not from his own private means, but from the general contributions of each tribe. Some parts of the offering, as the animals…Read the comment
