Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
On the seventh: Both Jewish and Christian writers have been surprised that this work of offering went forward on the seventh day - which they suppose to have been a sabbath as well as on the other days. But:
1. There is no absolute proof that this seventh day of offering was a sabbath.
2. Were it even so, could the people be better employed than in thus consecrating themselves and their services to the Lord?
We have already seen that every act was a religious act; and we may rest assured, that no day was too holy for the performance of such acts as are here recorded. Here it may be observed, that Moses has thought fit to set down distinctly, and at full length, the offerings of the princes of each tribe, though, as we have already observed, they were the very same, both in quantity and quality, that an honourable mention might be made of every one apart, and that none might think himself in the least neglected.
Elishama: Numbers 1:10, Numbers 2:18
Reciprocal: Genesis 48:20 - and he set Numbers 10:22 - Elishama
Gill's Notes on the Bible
On the seventh day Elishama the son of Ammihud, prince of the children of Ephraim, [offered]. See Numbers 1:10.
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 48. On the seventh day — Both Jewish and Christian writers have been surprised that this work of offering went forward on the seventh day, which they suppose to have been a Sabbath, as well as on the other days. But
1. There is no absolute proof that this seventh day of offering was a Sabbath.
2. Were it even so, could the people be better employed than in thus consecrating themselves and their services to the Lord?
We have already seen that every act was a religious act; and we may rest assured that no day was too holy for the performance of such acts as are recorded here.
