Numbers 7:1New

This chapter frames itself: it opens with the tabernacle finished and anointed (v.1) and closes with Moses finally entering it to speak with God (v.89). Eighty-eight verses of near-identical tribal offerings sit inside that frame - repetitive by design, not by accident, since every tribe brings exactly the same gift.
