And the LORD said to Moses
This phrase underscores the direct communication between God and Moses, a central theme in the Pentateuch. The Hebrew root for "LORD" is "YHWH," the sacred name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. This divine communication highlights Moses' role as a mediator between God and the Israelites, a role that foreshadows Christ as the ultimate mediator in the New Testament. Historically, this direct dialogue signifies the unique covenant relationship between God and His chosen people, Israel.

Each day
The phrase "each day" indicates a structured and orderly approach to the dedication process. In Hebrew, "yom" (day) often signifies a literal 24-hour period, but it can also symbolize a period of divine activity. This daily offering reflects the importance of regular, consistent worship and dedication to God, reminding believers of the need for daily devotion and commitment in their spiritual lives.

one leader
The term "leader" refers to the heads of the twelve tribes of Israel. In Hebrew, "nasi" denotes a prince or chief, someone with authority and responsibility. This highlights the communal and representative nature of the offerings, as each leader acts on behalf of their tribe. It underscores the biblical principle of leadership as service and responsibility, a theme echoed in the New Testament teachings of servant leadership.

is to present his offering
The act of presenting an offering is deeply rooted in the Hebrew word "qarab," meaning to draw near or approach. This signifies the leaders' approach to God with reverence and humility. Offerings in the Old Testament were a means of worship, atonement, and thanksgiving, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. This act of presenting offerings emphasizes the importance of giving to God as an expression of faith and gratitude.

for the dedication of the altar
The "dedication of the altar" refers to the consecration of the altar for worship and sacrifice. The Hebrew word "chanukkah" (dedication) implies a setting apart for a holy purpose. The altar, central to Israelite worship, symbolizes God's presence and the means of atonement. This dedication marks a significant moment in Israel's spiritual journey, reminding believers of the importance of consecrating their lives and resources to God's service. The altar's dedication foreshadows the ultimate dedication of Christ, who is both the altar and the sacrifice.

Verse 11. - The Lord said unto Moses. Doubtless in answer to his inquiry (see verse 89), at the time when the princes desired to make their offerings. Each prince on his day. For more convenience and solemnity, that the sacrifices might not be hurried over, and that none might feel neglected.
