Números 7:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 7:2

That the princes of Israel
The princes of the twelve tribes of Israel:

heads of the house of their fathers;
of the each of the houses and families the tribes were divided into, and took their name from each of their ancestors, as is next explained:

who were princes of the tribes;
the twelve tribes, as before observed, ( Numbers 1:4-16 ) ;

and were over them that were numbered;
over the children of Israel that were numbered, ( Numbers 1:19-46 ) ; by which it that these princes are the very same persons that are mentioned by name there, as they are here afterwards; and were with Moses and Aaron, and assisting to them when they took the number of them; but according to the Targum of Jonathan, and Jarchi, these were appointed over them in Egypt; but the former is right: these now

offered
not sacrifices but gifts; they brought their presents to the Lord for the service of his sanctuary, and set them before him, as follows.

Números 7:2 In-Context

1 Y sucedió que el día en que Moisés terminó de levantar el tabernáculo, lo ungió y lo consagró con todos sus muebles; también ungió y consagró el altar y todos sus utensilios.

2 Entonces los jefes de Israel, las cabezas de sus casas paternas, presentaron una ofrenda (ellos eran los jefes de las tribus, los que estaban sobre los enumerados).

3 Y ellos trajeron su ofrenda delante del SEÑOR: seis carretas cubiertas y doce bueyes, una carreta por cada dos jefes y un buey por cada uno. Los presentaron ante el tabernáculo.

4 Entonces habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

5 Acepta de ellos estas cosas, para que sean usadas en el servicio de la tienda de reunión, y las darás a los levitas, a cada uno conforme a su ministerio.
