Numbers 7:67

Study note

Setting — The passage records the specific contribution presented by Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai, leader of the tribe of Dan, during the tabernacle consecration. This event occurs sequentially after the previous tribal leader's approach and directly precedes the next tribe's offering.

The words — The text features קָרְבָּנוֹ (qarbanô), meaning "his offering," and מִזְרָק (mizraq), rendered here as "bowl" or "platter." These terms designate the consecrated gift and the specific sacred vessel used for the grain offering.

The thread — The sanctuary shekel standard and measured grain offerings appear throughout the tabernacle instructions in Exodus 25–27 and Leviticus 2. Parallel vessel weights and consecration sequences are documented in the temple records of 1 Kings 7:48–50 and 2 Chronicles 4:22.

Why it lands — The verse requires a reader to recognize the precise, measured nature of worship and the equal weight given to each tribe's contribution. It asks the reader to note that sacred service demands exactness in both material provision and procedural order.
