On the seventh day Elishama the son of Ammihud
on Numbers 7:48-65
Days seven to nine are Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin, the west standard of Numbers 2:18-24, and all three descend from Rachel. Ephraim goes before Manasseh here, as Jacob set it with crossed hands at Genesis 48:14-20. Same charger, same bowl, same spoon.
