Commentary for Numbers 7:41
1. **Themes:**
- **Offerings and Sacrifices:** The verse reflects the theme of offerings and sacrifices, which are central to the religious practices of the Israelites. These offerings were a means of worship, expressing gratitude, seeking atonement, and marking significant events or commitments.
- **Divine Worship:** It emphasizes the importance of divine worship and adherence to the detailed instructions given by God for various types of sacrifices, including peace offerings.
- **Leadership and Responsibility:** The listing of specific individuals, such as Shelumiel, underscores the theme of leadership and the responsibility of tribal leaders in the religious life of the community.
2. **Historical Context:**
- **The Book of Numbers:** This book is set during the time of the Israelites' wandering in the wilderness, after their exodus from Egypt and before their entry into the Promised Land. It details the census of the people, the organization of the camp, and various laws and narratives.
- **Dedication of the Tabernacle:** Numbers 7 describes the offerings brought by the leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel at the dedication of the altar in the Tabernacle. These offerings were presented on twelve successive days, one for each tribe.
- **Shelumiel's Offering:** On the second day, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai, the leader of the tribe of Simeon, brought his tribe's offering. His sacrifice included two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five one-year-old lambs, which were part of the peace offerings. This indicates that each tribe contributed significantly to the support and functioning of the Tabernacle.
In summary, Numbers 7:41 highlights the communal and ritualistic aspects of Israelite worship during a pivotal period of their history, as they established their religious practices and identity in anticipation of entering the land promised to them by God.
