Numbers 10

Numbers 10:1

Upon their shoulders - Because of the greater worth and holiness of the things which they carried.

Numbers 10:2

The altar - Of burnt - offerings, and incense too, as appears from the matter of their offerings. Not for the first dedication of them, for it is apparent they were dedicated or consecrated before this time by Moses and Aaron: but for a farther dedication of them, these being the first offerings that were made for any particular persons or tribes. In the day - That is, about the time, as soon as it was anointed.

Numbers 10:3

On his day - And in this offering they followed the order of their camp, and not of their birth.

Numbers 10:5

Charger - A large dish or platter; to be employed about the altar of burnt - offering, or in the court; not in the sanctuary, for all its vessels were of gold.

Numbers 10:9

Peace - offerings - Which are more numerous because the princes and priests, and some of the people made a feast before the Lord out of them.
