SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:88
Y todos los bueyes del sacrificio de la paz veinticuatro novillos, sesenta los carneros, sesenta los machos cabríos, sesenta los corderos de un año. Esta fue la dedicación del altar, después que fue ungido.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 7:88
Verse 88. After that it was anointed.] By the anointing the altar was consecrated to God; by this dedication it was solemnly appointed to that service for which it had been erected.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 88. And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace offerings [were] twenty and four bullocks , etc.] Each prince bringing two: the rams sixty, the he goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty ; five of each being brought by every prince; so that the whole number of beasts for peace offerings only, which were to feast with, were two hundred four; this [was] the dedication of the altar after that it was anointed ; this clearly shows, that it was not the precise day the altar was anointed the dedication was made, but some little time after; even that the first prince brought his presents and offerings for the dedication of it.
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 __________________________________________________________________
