Chapter 7
The longest chapter in the Torah, if not the whole Tanach - at 89 verses. All the sacrifices are identical, so why not find a better way of setting out this roster?
7:1 VA YEHI BE YOM KALOT MOSHEH LEHAKIM ET HA MISHKAN VA YIMSHACH OTO VA YEKADESH OTO VE ET KOL KEYLAV VE ET HA MIZBE'ACH VE ET KOL KEYLAV VA YIMSHACHEM VE YEKADESH OTAM
וַיְהִי בְּיוֹם כַּלּוֹת מֹשֶׁה לְהָקִים אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן וַיִּמְשַׁח אֹתוֹ וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֹתוֹ וְאֶת כָּל כֵּלָיו וְאֶת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְאֶת כָּל כֵּלָיו וַיִּמְשָׁחֵם וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֹתָם
KJ (King James translation): And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;
BN (BibleNet translation): And it came to pass on the day that Mosheh finished setting up the Mishkan, and anointed it, and sanctified it, and all its furniture, and its altar, and all its vessels, and anointed them and sanctified them...
The text here says "on the day", but the text below makes clear that it took twelve, one for each tribe; and in the following order: Yehudah, Yisaschar, Zevulun, Re'u-Ven, Shim'on, Gad, Ephrayim, Menasheh, Bin-Yamin, Dan, Asher, Naphtali, which is the clock-order of their protective square around the Mishkan. "On the day" is therefore the 12th day. The logic of the order should be clear from the diagram, which can also be found where it was instructed, in Numbers 2. Juniors and seniors, all women, and any man not conscripted on medical grounds, would be found at the left edge of the diagram, behind the Camp of Ephrayim.7:2 VA YAKRIYVU NESIYEY YISRA-EL RASHEY BEIT AVOTAM HEM NESIYEY HA MATOT HEM HA OMDIM AL HA PEKUDIM
וַיַּקְרִיבוּ נְשִׂיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל רָאשֵׁי בֵּית אֲבֹתָם הֵם נְשִׂיאֵי הַמַּטֹּת הֵם הָעֹמְדִים עַל הַפְּקֻדִים
KJ: That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
BN: That the princes of Yisra-El, the heads of their clans, brought offerings - these were the leaders of the tribes, the rulers of those who were counted.
The names are given in Numbers 1.
7:3 VA YAVIY'U ET KARBANAM LIPHNEY YHVH SHESH EGLOT TSAV U SHNEY ASAR BAKAR AGALAH AL SHNEY HA NESI'IM VE SHOR LE ECHAD VA YAKRIYVU OTAM LIPHNEY HA MISHKAN
וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת קָרְבָּנָם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה שֵׁשׁ עֶגְלֹת צָב וּשְׁנֵי עָשָׂר בָּקָר עֲגָלָה עַל שְׁנֵי הַנְּשִׂאִים וְשׁוֹר לְאֶחָד וַיַּקְרִיבוּ אוֹתָם לִפְנֵי הַמִּשְׁכָּן
KJ: And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
BN: And they brought their offerings before YHVH, six covered wagons and twelve oxen: a wagonload for every two among the princes, and an ox for each one; and they presented them before the tabernacle.
Why EGLOT, here, but AGALOT in verse 6 and elsewhere? Because there are two words here, different in meaning but remarkably similar in spelling in the Yehudit: an EGEL (עגל) and an AGALAH (עֲגָלָה), the first being a calf and the second a cart - and in the plural the two Yehudit words appear to be identical; EGLOT and AGALOT. But clearly the Kohen was not going to slaughter a "covered wagon" on the altar!
So, as we shall see, both are intended: cattle for slaughter, and wagonloads of vessels and utensils for use in the Mishkan, all of which need to be "dedicated" - which is that other sense of the word "sacrificed" that we have seen repeatedly: "to make sacred".

Verse 6 canges EGLOT to BAKAR, which removes the possible confusion.
7:4 VA YOMER YHVH EL MOSHEH LEMOR
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר
KJ: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
BN: Then YHVH said to Mosheh, saying:
The KJ translation uses "spoke", exactly as it did for VA YEDABER. But the Yehudit is VA YOMER. It needs a variation. This is "said", not "spoke".
7:5 KACH ME ITAM VE HAYU LA'AVOD ET AVODAT OHEL MO'ED VE NATATA OTAM EL HA LEVIYIM ISH KEPHI AVODATO
קַח מֵאִתָּם וְהָיוּ לַעֲבֹד אֶת עֲבֹדַת אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְנָתַתָּה אוֹתָם אֶל הַלְוִיִּם אִישׁ כְּפִי עֲבֹדָתוֹ
KJ: Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.
BN: Take them from them, that thet may be used in the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Leviyim, to each man according to his tasks.
Uncomfortable mix of singular and plural in English: "it" and "them"; in fact the Yehudit has no pronoun at the opening of this verse, but a plural verb (HAYU).
7:6 VA YIKACH MOSHEH ET HA AGALOT VE ET HA BAKAR VA YITEN OTAM EL HA LEVIYIM
וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת הָעֲגָלֹת וְאֶת הַבָּקָר וַיִּתֵּן אוֹתָם אֶל הַלְוִיִּם
KJ: And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
BN: And Mosheh took the cattle and the oxen, and gave them to the Leviyim.
BAKAR: A general term for cattle, where EGLOT are specifically oxen.
7:7 ET SHTEY HA AGALOT VE ET ARBA'AT HA BAKAR NATAN LIVNEY GERSHON KEPHI AVODATAM
אֵת שְׁתֵּי הָעֲגָלוֹת וְאֵת אַרְבַּעַת הַבָּקָר נָתַן לִבְנֵי גֵרְשׁוֹן כְּפִי עֲבֹדָתָם
KJ: Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
BN: Two of the wagons and four of the oxen he gave to the Beney Gershon, according to their tasks.
This overlapping of two similar words will become a tale in its own right, later on. In 1 Chronicles 13:9-14 to be precise, when David first tried to bring the Ark to Yeru-Shala'im and it all went badly wrong, because one of the Kohanim accidentally touched the Mishkan. Here, because wagons in those days didn't have engines, we can reasonably assume that the wagons were being pulled by oxen, and therefore they have technically touched the holy things - and so, yes indeed, they must be sacrificed.
A grammatical difficulty here. VE ET ARBA'AT HA BAKAR means "the four oxen", but verse 3 told us there were twelve; the intention, as the next verse confirms, is "four of the oxen" (is the error grammatical, or is it merely that the syntax is confusing?).
7:8 VE ET ARBA HA AGALOT VE ET SHEMONAT HA BAKAR NATAN LIVNEY MERARI KEPHI AVODATAM BE YAD ITAMAR BEN AHARON HA KOHEN

KJ: And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
BN: And he gave four of the cattle and eight of the oxen to the Beney Merari, according to their tasks, under the supervision of Itamar ben Aharon the Kohen.
7:9 VE LIVNEY KEHAT LO NATAN KI AVODAT HA KODESH ALEYHEM BA KATEPH YISA'U
וְלִבְנֵי קְהָת לֹא נָתָן כִּי עֲבֹדַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ עֲלֵהֶם בַּכָּתֵף יִשָּׂאוּ
KJ: But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.
BN: But he gave none to the Beney Kehat, because the responsibility for the holy things belonged to them: they bore them on their shoulders.
Cf Numbers 4:15.
7:10 VA YAKRIYVU HA NESI'IM ET CHANUKAT HA MIZBE'ACH BE YOM HIMASHACH OTO VA YAKRIYVU HA NESI'IM ET KARBANAM LIPHNEY HA MIZBE'ACH
וַיַּקְרִיבוּ הַנְּשִׂאִים אֵת חֲנֻכַּת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ בְּיוֹם הִמָּשַׁח אֹתוֹ וַיַּקְרִיבוּ הַנְּשִׂיאִם אֶת קָרְבָּנָם לִפְנֵי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ
KJ: And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
BN: And the princes brought the dedication-offering of the altar on the day that it was anointed; the princes brought their offering before the altar.
CHANUKAT: Yes, you recognised the word entirely correctly. The festival of Chanukah takes its name from the ceremony of rededicating the Temple after it had been deliberately rendered defiled by the Greeks sacrificing pigs on the altar. Chanukah simply means "dedication", and it appears from the following verses that it is the altar itself, in the now completed Mishkan, which is being dedicated.
7:11 VA YOMER YHVH EL MOSHEH NASI ECHAD LA YOM NASI ECHAD LA YOM YAKRIYVU ET KARBANAM LACHANUKAT HA MIZBE'ACH
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל מֹשֶׁה נָשִׂיא אֶחָד לַיּוֹם נָשִׂיא אֶחָד לַיּוֹם יַקְרִיבוּ אֶת קָרְבָּנָם לַחֲנֻכַּת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ
KJ: And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
BN: Then YHVH said to Mosheh: They shall present their offerings, one prince on one day, one prince on one day, for the dedication of the altar.
Is the repetition another error, or is the phrase a poetic way of saying it? I have taken it as the latter.

7:12 VA YEHI HA MAKRIV BA YOM HA RISHON ET KARBANO NACHSHON BEN AMI-NADAV LE MATEH YEHUDAH
וַיְהִי הַמַּקְרִיב בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן אֶת קָרְבָּנוֹ נַחְשׁוֹן בֶּן עַמִּינָדָב לְמַטֵּה יְהוּדָה
KJ: And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:
BN: And he who presented his offering on the first day was Nachshon ben Ami-Nadav, of the tribe of Yehudah;
Why does Yehudah get to go first when he isn't the first-born? Is this because his battallion will be in the vanguard when the Mishkan sets out? You can compare the order of bringing, below, with the diagram adjacent to verse 2, above.
Nonetheless it is an oddity, because Yehudah is not the first-born, nor even the second-born, and logically, surely, there should be a hierarchy of age in this. Shim'on and Re'u-Ven, who are the first and second born, are side-by-side in the southern camp - and it leaves me wondering: was the southern in fact the lead group, originally, but later Yehudan history required the change, and a simple shift across the angles of the square... it would also claify some of the confusions that we identified in earlier chapters, where the stragglers seemed to be at the wrong point of the camp, and two parallel sides did not march in parallel: see for examples Numbers 2:16, 24 and 31.
7:13 VE KARBANO KA'ARAT KESEPH ACHAT SHELOSHIM U ME'AH MISHKALAH MIZRAK ECHAD KESEPH SHIVIM SHEKEL BE SHEKEL HA KODESH SHENEYHEM MELE'IM SOLET BE LULAH VA SHEMEN LE MINCHAH

KJ: And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
BN: And his offering was one silver dish, the weight of which was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver basin weighing seventy shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary; both of them filled with fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering.
I shall only ask this once (I have asked it several times previously!), and then let the question permeate through the entire text: where did this group of slaves, who spent several centuries in bondage in Mitsrayim (Egypt), acquire so much gold and silver? The official answer lies in Exodus 3:22 and 12:35/36, and then at Exodus 31:1-6, where Betsal-El crafts the gold and silver into these ceremonial utensils.
This was then a double-offering, in that the dishes were first of all just the means of bringing the flour for the meal-offering, but then then they were left behind for future use as well, and the point of the "sacrifice" here is not a "giving up", but the true meaning of the word, "sacre ficere", "to make something sacred"; until this moment these were just ornaments and utensils, but now they are formally dedicated to use in the Mishkan.
Which leaves me wondering: are the cattle being "sacrificed" in the same manner; they will not in fact be slaughtered and eaten, but are now designated as the holy cattle, the ones who will be bridled to the Mishkan? The evidence of this being so lies in verses 15ff, where animals are indeed slaughtered for the ceremony, but it is not these cattle.
SHEKEL HA KODESH: This too I have questioned several times previously: would Mosheh really have been minting coins, out here in the wilderness? But the phrasing rather than the historical claim may in fact be the cause of the problem: SHEKEL HA KODESH does not have to infer the Sanctuary - which is now the Mishkan, and will later be the Temple. It could simply mean "made of holy silver", as in silver that has been dedicated for exclusive usage in the Mishkan, the very silver, indeed, which is being brought to the Mishkan right now, to be sanctified and dedicated for precisely that.

For a people so deprived of food that YHVH has had to provide daily miracles of Manna, and for whom the Manna will be all they have to eat through forty years of wandering (Exodus 16:35), these are an awfully contradictorily large number of livestock.

As it is now clear that all twelve brought the identical offerings, why the need to state the same thing twelve times? Two logical answers come to mind. First, that this puts it in writing, so no one can now dispute the history (we do anyway). Second, that it is not so much recording a historical event as establishing, centuries later, a liturgical ceremony. The first explanation I reject, because it would have been unnecessary at the time, and even less necessary centuries later, when most of those tribes had vanished into the oblivion of history. I can, on the other hand, easily imagine the priesthood of the First Temple reciting the verses while the princes of the tribes brought their offerings, a mimetic ritual that synthesised past and present (but that disputes the history! because it makes of this a later text than the Mosaic).

KJ: On the seventh day Elishama the son of Ammihud, prince of the children of Ephraim, offered:
BN: On the seventh day Eli-Shama ben Ami-Chud, prince of the Beney Ephrayim.
BA YOM HA SHEVIYI: A technical question. Was this the seventh day of bringing sacrifices, or the seventh day of the week? Because, if the latter, and if the bringing started on the first day of the week (which we have no way of knowing) then Ephrayim has been given a special privilege, that of bringing his sacrifices on Shabat, the holiest day of the week. And if the bringing didn't start on the first day of the week, when did it start, and who got the Shabat privilege, or was Shabat skipped, because it was Shabat and therefore "the day" (in verse 1) wasn't the 12th day, but the 13th,or even the 14th? As far as I am aware, there is no commentary on this in any of the Rabbinic or scholarly writings, anywhere, ever. Please let me know if I am wrong.
