Context of Numbers 7:11

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. 10The leaders also brought offerings for the dedication of the altar when it was anointed. They presented their gifts in front of the altar. The 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. 13He brought a silver plate that weighed 3¼ pounds and a silver bowl that weighed 1¾ pounds, using the standard weight of the holy place. Each dish was filled with flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-89Verses 10-89 The princes and great men were most forward in the service of God. Here is an example to those in authority, and of the highest rank; they ought to use their honour and power, their estate and interest, to promote religion and the service of God in the places where they live. Though it was a time of joy and rejoicing, yet still, in the midst of their sacrifices, we find a sin-offering. As, in our best services, we are conscious that there is…Read the comment
• 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. They collected these gifts from the Egyptians when Israel left Egypt (compare Exodus 12:35–36; 25:3).Read the comment
• 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]. But it might be considered an additional "dedication"--those offerings being the first that were made…Read the comment
