Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle,.... Not on the very exact day on which it was first reared up, for that was on the first day of the first month of the second year from the coming up of Israel out of Egypt, Exodus 40:17; whereas the following offerings of the princes were not offered, and many other things previous to them, recorded in the preceding chapters, were not done, until after the first day of the second month of that year, Numbers 1:1; though the Jews say e the first of Nisan, or of the first month, was the first for various things, and the first on which the princes offered; but no one particular day can be intended, because the princes were twelve days successively offering their offerings; wherefore "the day" here only denotes the time about which it was when this service was performed; when the tabernacle was not only set up, but "fully" set up, when everything relating to it was in its proper place and order; when not only it was put together, and all the vessels and instruments of it in their due place, but also when the people of Israel, for whose sake it was erected, that the Lord God might dwell among them, were numbered, and their camps formed and pitched around the tabernacle; and the Levites were taken and numbered also, who were to serve at it, and their place and service were appointed unto them about it; for then, and not till then, was the service of it completed, and its proper place and situation fixed and settled:
and had anointed it; with the holy oil Moses was directed to make and anoint it with, Exodus 30:23;
and sanctified it: set it apart for holy use and service, to be an habitation for God, and the place of his worship:
and all the instruments thereof; the ark, table, candlestick, c.
both the altars, and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them,
and sanctified them the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offering, and all appertaining: thereunto; according to Ben Gersom, this finishing of the whole was at the end of the seven days of consecration of Aaron and his sons, Exodus 29:35.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
On the day that - i. e. “at the time that,” compare Genesis 2:4. The presentation of the gifts in fact occupied twelve days, as the sequel shows.
The enactments set forth in the chapters from Leviticus 10:0 to Numbers 6:0 inclusive, were doubtless promulgated at various times between the consecration of the tabernacle and the departure from Sinai, but are for convenience set out connectedly. The contents of the present chapter are accordingly placed after them. The order pursued throughout is justly noted as one which would naturally suggest itself to a narrator who was contemporary with the events.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VII
When the tabernacle was fully set up, it appeared that the
princes of the twelve tribes had prepared six covered wagons,
drawn by two oxen each, one wagon for two tribes, for the
service of the tabernacle, 1-3.
Moses is commanded to receive this offering, and distribute the
whole to the Levites according to their service, 4, 5.
Moses does so, and gives two wagons and four oxen to the sons of
Gershon, 6, 7;
and four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, 8.
The sons of Kohath have none, because they were to bear the ark,
c., on their shoulders, 9.
Each prince is to take a day for presenting his offerings,
10, 11.
On the first day Nahshon, of the tribe of JUDAH, offers a
silver charger, a silver bowl, a golden spoon, a young
bullock, a ram, a lamb, and a kid, for a
SIN-OFFERING two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, and five lambs,
for a PEACE-OFFERING, 12-17.
On the second day Nethaneel, of the tribe of ISSACHAR,
offers the like, 18-23.
On the third day Eliab, of the tribe of ZEBULUN, offers
the like, 24-29.
On the fourth day Elizur, of the tribe of REUBEN, offers
the like, 30-35.
On the fifth day Shelumiel, of the tribe of SIMEON, made a
similar offering, 36-41.
On the sixth day Eliasaph, of the tribe of GAD, made his
offering, 42-47.
On the seventh day Elishama, of the tribe of EPHRAIM, made
his offering, 48-53.
On the eighth day Gamaliel, of the tribe of MANASSEH, made
his offering, 54-59.
On the ninth day Abidan, of the tribe of BENJAMIN, made
his offering, 60-65.
On the tenth day Ahiezer, of the tribe of DAN, made his
offering, 66-71.
On the eleventh day Pagiel, of the tribe of ASHER, made
his offering, 72-77.
On the twelfth day Ahira, of the tribe of NAPHTALI, made
the same kind of offering, 78-83.
The sum total of all vessels and cattle which were offered was
twelve silver chargers, and twelve silver bowls; twelve
golden spoons; twelve bullocks, twelve rams, and twelve kids;
twenty-four bullocks, sixty rams, sixty he-goats, and sixty
lambs, 84-88.
The offerings being ended, Moses goes into the tabernacle, and
hears the voice of the Lord from the mercy-seat, 89.
