Bamidbar Chapter 7

Table of Contents

This deep dive into Bamidbar Chapter 7 explores why the Torah dedicates its longest chapter to repeating the identical offerings of the twelve tribal princes during the Mishkan’s dedication—revealing that the repetition itself is an expression of joy, much like how a happy person speaks at length. The lecture beautifully shows how this chapter fits into the broader structure of Sefer Bamidbar, demonstrating how the Mishkan’s holiness radiates outward from the Kohanim through the Leviyim to all the tribes, culminating in God’s voice speaking to Moshe from between the Keruvim as the fulfillment of the entire Mishkan’s purpose.
