Context of Numbers 7:1

When Moses finished setting up the tent, he anointed it and dedicated it and all the furnishings. He also anointed and dedicated the altar and all the utensils. 2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of the households—those tribal leaders who helped in the census—came to give their offerings. 3They brought these gifts to the Lord: six freight wagons and twelve oxen, one wagon from every two leaders and one ox from each leader. They brought them in front of the tent.

The contents of the present chapter are accordingly placed after…Read the comment
