“…the leaders of Isra’el, who were heads of their father’s clans, made an offering. These were the tribal leaders in charge of those counted in the census.”
Numbers 7:2
It is in chapter 7 that we see the leader of each of the twelve tribes of Isra’el bringing forth the offerings to Adonai. Beginning with Y’hudah, the head of each tribe brings the offering of the tribe to the Tabernacle. The offerings were given one a day, for a total of twelve days. From the tribe of Y’hudah was offered one silver dish weighing 130 shekels and one silver basin of seventy shekels. Additionally, both dishes were full of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering. The tribe also offered a gold pan of ten shekels full of incense, a young bull, a ram, a male lamb and male goat, a the requirements for the peace offering.
The tribes continued as the days progressed, having the offering of Yissakhar follow. His clan was followed then by Z’vulun, Re’uven, Shim’on, Gad, Efrayim, M’nasheh, Binyamin, Dan, Asher, and finally Naftali. Each tribe brought forth their offering unto Adonai, and with this the temple altar was dedicated.
