Num 7:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : The gifts given were six wagons, each with a yoke of oxen (v. 3 ). These wagons were probably of the best quality, matching the other things used in the tabernacle. God had not given exact instructions about these wagons, so the leaders decided themselves to provide what was needed. Sometimes God leaves certain details for people to work out in a wise way (Tit. i. 5 ). Also, it is important to stay ready for change and movement, just as the Israelites had to be ready to move the tabernacle even after settling in. The leaders had been generous before (Exod.35.27 ), and now they gave even more, showing we should not get tired of doing good.

‏ Numbers 7:3

v. 3: The gifts given were six wagons, each with a yoke of oxen (v. 3 ^a). These wagons were probably of the best quality, matching the other things used in the tabernacle. God had not given exact instructions about these wagons, so the leaders decided themselves to provide what was needed. Sometimes God leaves certain details for people to work out in a wise way (Tit. i. 5 ^b). Also, it is important to stay ready for change and movement, just as the Israelites had to be ready to move the tabernacle even after settling in. The leaders had been generous before (Exod.35.27 ^c), and now they gave even more, showing we should not get tired of doing good.
