Context of Numbers 7:10

8He gave four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites for the work they had to do under the direction of Ithamar, son of the priest Aaron. 9But Moses gave none of these gifts to the Kohathites, because they took care of the holy things. They had to carry the holy things on their own shoulders. The leaders also brought offerings for the dedication of the altar when it was anointed. They presented their gifts in front of the altar. 11The Lord said to Moses, “Each day a different leader will bring his gift for the dedication of the altar.” 12The one who brought his gifts on the first day was Nahshon, son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-11When they anointed the altar, the tribal leaders gave the wagons and oxen, silver and gold vessels, and other religious offerings for the altar. Starting with the tribe of Judah, the leaders brought these gifts to the tabernacle for 12 days.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-1110-11. the princes offered for dedicating of the altar, &c.--"Altar" is here used in the singular for the plural; for it is evident, from the kind of offerings, that the altars of burnt offering and incense are both referred to. This was not the first or proper dedication of those altars, which had been made by Moses and Aaron some time before [Le 8:11].
