Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
When this was spoken, says Bp. Patrick, is not certain. If Moses went into the tabernacle immediately after the princes had offered - Numbers 7:89, it may be thought he then spake these things unto him; but both this and what follows, concerning the Levites, seem rather to have been delivered after the order for giving them to the priests, and appointing their several charges - Numbers 3:1, and Numbers 4:1. But some other things intervening, which depended upon what had been ordered respecting their camp, and that of the Israelites, Moses omits this until he had stated them, and some other matters which he had received from God. - See note on Numbers 7:11.
Reciprocal: Genesis 46:11 - Levi Deuteronomy 10:8 - time the Lord

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... Whether immediately after the offerings of the princes, or at another time, is not certain; Aben Ezra thinks it was in the night God spake unto him, because then the lamps were lighted and burning:
saying; as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The actual lighting of the lamps (compare the marginal references) was to be done to set forth symbolically the special presence which God had now Numbers 7:89 actually established among His people.
