SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:72
El undécimo día, el príncipe de los hijos de Aser, Pagiel hijo de Ocrįn.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 7:72
Verse 72. On the eleventh day] The Hebrew form of expression, here and in the 78th verse, has something curious in it. µwy r[ yt[ µwyb beyom ashtey asar yom, In the day, the first and tenth day; µwy r[ µyn µwyb 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 72. On the eleventh day Pagiel the son of Ocran, prince of the children of Asher, [offered] .] (see Numbers 1:13 2:27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-89 - The princes and great men were most forward in the service of God. Her is an example to those in authority, and of the highest rank; the ought to use their honour and power, their estate and interest, to promote religion and the service of God in the places where they live Though it was a time of joy and rejoicing, yet still, in the midst of their sacrifices, we find a sin-offering. As, in our best services, we are conscious that there is sin, there should be repentance, even in our most joyful services. In all approaches to God we must by fait look to Christ as the Sin-offering. They brought their offerings eac on a day. God's work should not be done confusedly, or in a hurry; tak time, and we shall have done the sooner, or, at least, we shall have done the better. If services are to be done for twelve days together we must not call it a task and a burden. All their offerings were the same; all the tribes of Israel had an equal share in the altar, and a equal interest in the sacrifices offered upon it. He who now spake to Moses, as the Shechinah or Divine Majesty, from between the Cherubim was the Eternal Word, the second Person in the Trinity; for all God' communion with man is by his Son, by whom he made the world, and rule the church, who is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever __________________________________________________________________
