‏ Numbers 7:11

v. 11: God commanded that each leader should bring an offering on a different day (v. 11 a). This made the ceremony last twelve days so that every tribe had its own special time. It also meant the event was noticed by all and remembered longer. The order and care in the ceremony reflected respect for God. Serving God should not be rushed or done carelessly, but with thought and patience.
