Commentary

One young bullock,.... Of three years old, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem: one ram; of two years old, as the same Targums: one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering; of which see Lev 1:3.

This site's exposition

he that offered his offering the first day

on Numbers 7:12-17

The first day belongs to Judah, and the order of the twelve days is the order of the camp in Numbers 2 rather than the order of birth. Judah pitched on the east toward the rising of the sun, and Genesis 49:10 is where that precedence comes from. The offering is written out in full here, a silver charger, a silver bowl, a golden spoon of incense and the animals, and the same list is written out eleven more times.
