On the tenth day Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai
on Numbers 7:66-83
Days ten to twelve are Dan, Asher and Naphtali, the north standard of Numbers 2:25-31. The twelfth day closes a sequence that has not varied in a single item since the first. A reader who finds these verses long is reading what the chapter is doing, since the length is the record that every tribe gave the same and none gave less.

But while this was done in one respect, as subjects offering tribute to their king, it was in another respect, a purely religious act. 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.
