Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

eleventh day: Dr. Adam Clarke remarks, that the Hebrew form of expression here, and in Numbers 7:78, has something curious in it; beyom âshtey âsar yom, "in the day, the first and tenth day;" beyom shenim âsar yom, "in the day, two and tenth day." But this is the idiom of the language; and to an original Hebrew, our almost anomalous words eleventh and twelfth, would appear as strange.

Pagiel: Numbers 1:13, Numbers 2:27

Reciprocal: Numbers 10:26 - Pagiel

Gill's Notes on the Bible

On the eleventh day Pagiel the son of Ocran, prince of the children of Asher, [offered]. See Numbers 1:13.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The several princes make their offerings in the order assigned to the tribes Numbers 2:0. It was doubtless the tribes themselves which presented these gifts through their chiefs. The twelve offerings are strictly alike, and were offered on twelve separate days.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 7:72. On the eleventh day — The Hebrew form of expression, here and in the Numbers 7:78; Numbers 7:78 verse, has something curious in it. ביום עשתי עשר יום beyom ashtey asar yom, In the day, the first and tenth day; ביום שנים עשר יום beyom sheneym asar yom, In the day, two and tenth day. But this is the idiom of the language, and to an original Hebrew our almost anomalous words eleventh and twelfth, by which we translate the original, would appear as strange as his, literally translated, would appear to us. In reckoning after twelve, it is easy to find out the composition of the words thirteen, as three and ten, fourteen, four and ten, and so on; but eleven and twelve bear scarcely any analogy to ten and one, and ten and two, which nevertheless they intend. But this is a subject of philology rather than of Biblical criticism.
