Translation & textual notes

The Greek text of Numbers 7 follows the standard critical text of the Septuagint as established in the Rahlfs–Hanhart edition (Septuaginta, rev. ed. 2006), an ancient and public-domain text; the critical apparatus is not reproduced. Numbers 7 is the longest single chapter in the Pentateuch (89 verses) and one of the most relentlessly formulaic passages in the entire LXX: after a narrative frame describing the day the tabernacle was raised and anointed (v. 1) and the leaders' gift of six covered wagons (ἁμάξας λαμπηνικάς) and twelve oxen for Levitical transport (vv. 2–9), the chapter records, day by day for twelve days, the verbally identical dedication offering of each of the twelve tribal leaders (ἄρχοντες) at the altar (vv. 10–83). Each offering comprises a silver dish (τρυβλίον) weighing 130 shekels and a silver bowl (φιάλη) of 70 shekels, both full of fine flour mixed with oil (σεμιδάλεως ἀναπεποιημένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ), a gold incense-pan (θυίσκη) of ten gold pieces full of incense, a young bull, a ram, and a year-old lamb for a whole burnt offering (ὁλοκαύτωμα), a goat for a sin offering (περὶ ἁμαρτίας), and an elaborate peace offering (θυσία σωτηρίου). The grand totals are then tallied (vv. 84–88). The wagon-distribution carries its own theological logic: two wagons and four oxen go to the Gershonites and four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites according to their service, but none to the Kohathites (τοῖς υἱοῖς Κααθ οὐκ ἔδωκεν), since they bear the holy things on their shoulders (ἐπ᾽ ὤμων ἀροῦσιν, v. 9). The chapter's true climax is its final verse (7:89): when Moses entered the tent of meeting to speak with him, he heard THE VOICE (τὴν φωνήν) speaking to him from above the mercy seat (ἄνωθεν τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου) between the two cherubim — the narrative fulfillment of the promise of Exod 25:22 and the inauguration of the tabernacle as the locus of revelation. The LXX renders the technical sacrificial vocabulary with remarkable consistency (τρυβλίον, φιάλη, θυίσκη, ὁλοκαύτωμα, θυσία σωτηρίου), and the personal and tribal names are transliterated rather than translated (Ναασσων, Αμιναδαβ, Ιουδα, Μεραρι, Κααθ, Γεδσων), preserving the Hebrew onomastics of Num 7 MT.

καὶ ἐγένετο ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ συνετέλεσεν Μωυσῆς ὥστε ἀναστῆσαι τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἡγίασεν αὐτὴν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὰ καὶ ἡγίασεν αὐτά

And it came to pass on the day when Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its furnishings; and he anointed them and consecrated them.

Narrative setting (temporal frame for the whole chapter)καὶ ἐγένετο
The chapter opens with the classic LXX narrative formula καὶ ἐγένετο + temporal clause (rendering וַיְהִי בְּיוֹם), anchoring the entire dedication account to the day the tabernacle was completed and anointed (cf. Exod 40:17). The double pairing ἔχρισεν … ἡγίασεν ('anointed … consecrated'), repeated for the tabernacle and again for the altar, frames the whole apparatus of worship as set apart for holy use — the necessary precondition for the offerings and the divine voice that follow.

The verse introduces the ἄρχοντες ('leaders / chiefs') as the agents of the whole chapter's offerings. The doubled deictic οὗτοι … οὗτοι ('these … these') identifies them precisely with the twelve tribal heads who supervised the census (ἐπισκοπή) of Num 1, binding the dedication account to the preceding numbering narrative.

And they brought their gifts before the LORD, six covered wagons and twelve oxen — a wagon from every two leaders and an ox from each — and they brought them before the tabernacle.

Narrative advance: the wagons and oxen presentedκαὶ ἤνεγκαν
The verse specifies the corporate gift of the leaders: six wagons and twelve oxen, with the distributive ratio (a wagon per two leaders, an ox per leader) spelled out. The covered wagons (ἁμάξας λαμπηνικάς) are the practical instrument by which the dismantled tabernacle will be transported on the march — the gift answers the logistical needs created by the consecration of v. 1.

Take them from them, and they shall be for the works of the service of the tabernacle of testimony; and you shall give them to the Levites, to each according to his own service.

Divine command (content of v. 4's speech)λαβὲ παρ᾿ αὐτῶν
The divine instruction governs the redistribution of the leaders' gift: the wagons and oxen are accepted (λαβέ) and reassigned to the Levites for the practical λειτουργία ('service') of transporting the tabernacle. The principle ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ λειτουργίαν ('to each according to his own service') anticipates the differentiated allotment of vv. 7–9, in which transport-needs determine each clan's share.

καὶ λαβὼν Μωυσῆς τὰς ἁμάξας καὶ τοὺς βόας ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ τοῖς Λευίταις

And Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

Narrative execution of the command (v. 5)καὶ λαβὼν Μωυσῆς
Moses carries out the divine instruction; the aorist participle λαβών ('having taken') governs the main verb ἔδωκεν ('gave'), narrating obedience in the standard LXX participle-plus-finite-verb sequence. The general statement here is then itemized clan by clan in vv. 7–9.

The two wagons and the four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon according to their services.

Itemized distribution (Gershon)τὰς δύο ἁμάξας
The first clan allotment: two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites, who carry the lighter coverings and curtains of the tabernacle (Num 4:24–26).

And the four wagons and the eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari according to their services, through Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

Itemized distribution (Merari)καὶ τὰς τέσσαρας ἁμάξας
The second allotment: four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites, double the Gershonite portion, because Merari carries the heavy structural elements — the boards, bars, pillars, and sockets of the tabernacle frame (Num 4:31–32). The supervision διὰ Ιθαμαρ ('through Ithamar') notes the priestly oversight of the Merarite (and Gershonite) service.

καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κααθ οὐκ ἔδωκεν ὅτι τὰ λειτουργήματα τοῦ ἁγίου ἔχουσιν ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀροῦσιν

But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they have the ministry of the holy things; on their shoulders they shall carry them.

Contrastive allotment (Kohath: no wagons) with causal explanationκαὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κααθ οὐκ ἔδωκεν
The climax of the wagon-distribution and a theological crux: the Kohathites receive no wagons, the negation οὐκ ἔδωκεν marked against the ἔδωκεν of vv. 6–8. The ὅτι-clause gives the reason — they bear the most holy objects (ark, table, lampstand, altars) on their shoulders (ἐπ᾽ ὤμων ἀροῦσιν), not on carts, because direct, reverent human bearing befits the holiest things (cf. Num 4:15; the cautionary tale of 2 Sam 6:3–7, where transporting the ark by cart proves fatal).

Day 1 offering itemized (the silver vessels — template for all twelve)καὶ προσήνεγκεν τὸ δῶρον αὐτοῦ
The detailed inventory of the day's gift, repeated verbatim for each leader (vv. 19, 25, 31, …): a silver dish (τρυβλίον) of 130 shekels and a silver bowl (φιάλη) of 70 shekels, both filled with oiled fine flour for a grain offering. The weights are reckoned 'by the sanctuary shekel' (κατὰ τὸν σίκλον τὸν ἅγιον), the standard sacred standard (cf. Exod 30:13).

ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι Μωυσῆν εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ ἤκουσεν τὴν φωνὴν κυρίου λαλοῦντος πρὸς αὐτὸν ἄνωθεν τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο χερουβιμ καὶ ἐλάλει πρὸς αὐτόν

And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with him, he heard THE VOICE of the LORD speaking to him from above the mercy seat that is upon the ark of the testimony, between the two cherubim; and it spoke to him.

HEADLINE CRUX — the climax: the inauguration of the place of revelationἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι Μωυσῆν
The chapter's true climax and headline crux. After the long, formulaic dedication, the narrative arrives at its theological purpose: the dedicated tabernacle becomes the locus of revelation. When Moses enters the tent of meeting, he hears THE VOICE (τὴν φωνήν) of the LORD speaking from above the mercy seat (ἄνωθεν τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου), between the two cherubim — the exact fulfillment of the promise of Exod 25:22 ('there I will meet with you and speak with you from above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim'). The imperfect ἐλάλει ('and it kept speaking / used to speak') signals that this is not a single event but the inauguration of an ongoing mode of divine-human communication. The term ἱλαστήριον — 'mercy seat / place of atonement / propitiatory' — is the same word Paul applies to Christ at Rom 3:25, making this verse a deep typological anchor: the place where God's voice meets atoned Israel.
