‏ Numbers 7:84

Totals of the Dedication Offering

Everything is added up by God. But it is not a great heap for God: it is the sum of the individual parts. After twelve days God counts:

1. twelve silver dishes, each one hundred and thirty shekels (about one and a half kilos) filled with fine flour mixed with oil;

2. twelve silver bowls, each seventy shekels (about eight hundred grams) filled with fine flour mixed with oil;

3. twelve golden bowls, each ten shekels (about one hundred and ten grams) filled with incense;

4. twelve oxen for the burnt offering and the accompanying grain offering;

5. twelve rams for the burnt offering and the accompanying grain offering;

6. twelve male lambs one year old for the burnt offering and the accompanying grain offering;

7. twelve male goats for a sin offering;

8. 24 bulls for a peace offering;

9. 60 rams for a peace offering;

10. 60 male goats for a peace offering;

11. 60 male lambs one year old for a peace offering.

What a joy it must be for Him if at the end of a meeting on the first day of the week, where we have honored Him with the dedication offerings – our sacrifices of praise (Heb 13:15) – that each of us has brought to Him, He can add this up.
