Context of Numbers 7:24

22He brought one male goat for a sin offering. 23He also brought two oxen, five male sheep, five male goats, and five male lambs that were less than one year old. Those animals were for the friendship offerings. That was the gift of Nethanel, the son of Zuar. On day 3, Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun brought his gift. 25He brought a plate and a bowl that someone had made from silver. The plate weighed 130 shekels. The bowl weighed 70 shekels. They had weighed the silver by the shekel of God's Holy Tent. Both of those were full of good flour that he had mixed with oil. They were for a grain offering. 26He brought one small dish that someone had made from gold. It weighed ten shekels and it was full of incense.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-89Verses 10-89 The princes and great men were most forward in the service of God.
