Numbers 7:10-88

GIFTS FOR THE ALTAR, Numbers 7:10-88.

Each prince gave silver, gold, incense, fine flour, oil, specimens of all the sacrificial animals excepting birds, all the requisites, salt excepted, for all the kinds of offerings except the trespass offering. The aggregate was: silver, twenty-four hundred shekels; gold, one hundred and twenty shekels; twelve spoonfuls of incense; twenty-four vessels full of fine flour and oil; thirty-six bullocks and oxen; one hundred and forty-four sheep, and seventy-two goats. Considering the circumstances of the donors, these were truly princely offerings. Thus the princes testified their joy and faith in the coming Messiah, whom the altar prefigured, by whom they should offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually. Hebrews 13:10-15.
