The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
ΒΆ And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Commentary for Numbers 7:39
Numbers 7:39 is a verse that describes a specific offering made during the dedication of the altar in the Tabernacle, which was the portable dwelling place for God among the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. The verse is part of a longer passage that details the offerings brought by the leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel over a twelve-day period. Each tribal leader presented their offering on a different day, and the offerings were identical, consisting of various animals and other items for different types of sacrifices.
The particular offering mentioned in Numbers 7:39 is for a burnt offering, which was a sacrifice completely consumed by fire on the altar as an act of devotion to God. The components of this offering included one young bullock, one ram, and one male lamb that was one year old. These animals were considered without blemish, signifying their perfection and the best being given to God. The burnt offering was a central part of Hebrew worship and served several purposes: it was an expression of thanksgiving, a request for divine favor, and an atonement for sin.
In the broader historical context, this event occurred after the completion of the Tabernacle, as outlined in the book of Exodus, and before the Israelites began their journey from Mount Sinai to the Promised Land. The detailed account of these offerings underscores the importance of worship and the meticulous adherence to the divine instructions given to Moses. It also highlights the communal participation in worship, with each tribe contributing equally, demonstrating unity and shared commitment to God's service. The burnt offerings, as prescribed in Numbers 7:39, were a tangible expression of the Israelites' dedication to God and their willingness to follow His commandments as they prepared to enter the land He had promised to their ancestors.
