April 22, 2011 – Numbers 7 - 7:41

The foot note says that this type of repetition is likely because this is similar to a registry.  So, basically this is a receipt for the sacrifice to consecration the Dwelling.  Here is the list offered by each.

- one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels according to the sanctuary standard, filled with fine flour mixed with oil for a cereal offering

- one silver basin weighing seventy shekels, filled with fine flour mixed with oil for a cereal offering

- one gold cup of ten shekels' weight filled with incense;

- one young bull, one ram, one yearling lamb for a holocaust;

- one goat for a sin offering

- two oxen, five rams, five goats, five yearling lambs for a peace offering

Each day for 12 days they did this.  12 is obviously significant of the 12 tribes.  Obviously I skipped ahead to see how long the list lasted.  The chapter ends with Moses going into the tent after all this to speak to God.
