It is worthy of remark, that the different tribes are
represented here as bringing their offerings precisely in the
same order in which they encamped about the tabernacle, (see
ch. 2; 10;) beginning at the East, then proceeding to the
South, then to the West, and ending with the North, according
to the course of the sun. Their order may be thus viewed:
East.
1. Judah: Nahshon.
2. Issachar: Nathaneel.
3. Zebulun: Eliab.
South.
4. Reuben: Elizur.
5. Simeon: Shelumiel.
6. Gad: Eliasaph.
West.
7. Ephraim: Elishama.
8. Manasseh: Gamaliel.
9. Benjamin: Abidan.
North.
10. Dan: Ahiezer.
11. Asher: Pagiel.
12. Naphtali: Ahira.
Thus God evinces that he "is not the author of confusion, but
of peace." (1 Co 14:33.) It is also worthy of remark, that
every tribe offers the same kind of offering, and in the same
quantity, to shew, that as every tribe was equally indebted
to God for its support, so each should testify an equal sense
of obligation. Besides, the vessels were all sacrificial
vessels, and the animals were all clean animals, such as were
proper for sacrifices; and therefore everything was intended
to point out, that the people were to be a holy people, fully
dedicated to God, and that God was to dwell among them.
Thus, as the priests, altar, etc. were anointed, and the
tabernacle dedicated, so the people, by this offering, became
consecrated to God. Therefore every act here was a religious
act.
