This site's exposition

On the fourth day Elizur son of Shedeur

on Numbers 7:30-47

Days four to six are Reuben, Simeon and Gad, the south standard of Numbers 2:10-16. Reuben was the firstborn and comes fourth, which Numbers 2 had already settled and Genesis 49:3-4 had explained. The offering does not vary by the size of a tribe or the standing of a man.

This site's exposition

This was the offering of Elizur son of Shedeur

Matthew Henry reads Elizur's name as calling God a rock. Elizur led the 46,500 men of Reuben and headed the camp on the south side, which set out second at Numbers 10:18. The firstborn's tribe offers fourth.

proposed

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.
