On the second day Nethaneel the son of Zuar
on Numbers 7:18-29
Issachar and Zebulun follow, which completes the east standard of Numbers 2:3-9. Nothing changes between the days except the name of the prince and the name of the tribe. The writer could have said that the other eleven did likewise and he declines to.

The vessels offered were for a sacrificial use--the animals brought were clean and fit for sacrifice, both symbolically denoting, that while God was to dwell among them as their Sovereign, they were a holy people, who by this offering dedicated themselves to God.
