Anointing the Altar

Numbers 7

In Numbers 7, we read the account of what the twelve leaders of Israel brought to the front of the Tabernacle and presented to the Lord at the time of the altar’s anointing. If you notice, each leader brought specific, identical offerings. I’d be curious to learn the significance behind the exact requirement.

I did find it neat to read: ”Whenever Moses went into the Tabernacle to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—that rests on the Ark of the Covenant. The Lord spoke to him from there.“ Numbers‬ ‭7‬:‭89‬ ‭NLT‬ How neat it’s going to be someday to actually hear the voice of God say our names and speak directly with us in a way we can hear!
