{Numbers 7:17} And for a sacrifice 2077 of peace offerings, 8002 two 8147 oxen, 1241 five 2568 rams, 352 five 2568 he goats, 6260 five 2568 lambs 3532 of the first 1121 year: 8141 this x2088 [was] the offering 7133 of Nahshon 5177 the son 1121 of Amminadab. 5992
peace:
"And if¹ his oblationª [be] a sacrificeª of peace offering,ª if¹ he¹ offerª° [it] of¹ the herd;ª whether¹ [it be] a maleª or¹ female,ª he shall offerª° it without blemishª beforeª the LORD.ª ... [It shall be] a perpetualª statuteª for your generationsª throughout all¹ your dwellings,ª that ye eatª° neither¹¹ fatª nor blood.ª" {Lev 3:1-17} + "To wit,ª thatª Godª wasª° inª Christ,ª reconcilingª° the worldª unto himself,ª notª imputingª° theirª trespassesª unto them;ª andª hath committedª° untoª usª the¹ wordª of reconciliation.ª ... Forª he hath madeª° him [to be] sinª forª us,ª who² knewª° noª sin;ª thatª weª might be madeª° the righteousnessª of Godª inª him.ª" {2Co 5:19-21}
this was the offering:
It is worthy of remark, that the different tribes are represented here as bringing their offerings precisely in the same order in which they encamped about the tabernacle (see "And the LORDª spakeª° unto¹ Mosesª and unto¹ Aaron,ª saying,ª°" {Num 2:1} and "And the LORDª spakeª° unto¹ Moses,ª saying,ª°" {Num 10:1}), beginning at the East, then proceeding to the South, then to the West, and ending with the North, according to the course of the sun. Thus God evinces that he "is not the author of confusion, but of peace" ("Forª Godª isª° notª [the author] of confusion,ª butª of peace,ª asª inª allª churchesª of the¹ saints.ª" {1Co 14:33}). It is also worthy of remark, that every tribe offers the same kind of offering, and in the same quantity, to shew, that as every tribe was equally indebted to God for its support, so each should testify an equal sense of obligation. Besides, the vessels were all sacrificial vessels, and the animals were all clean animals, such as were proper for sacrifices; and therefore everything was intended to point out, that the people were to be a holy people, fully dedicated to God, and that God was to dwell among them. Thus, as the priests, altar, etc. were anointed, and the tabernacle dedicated, so the people, by this offering, became consecrated to God. Therefore every act here was a religious act.
