Guiding Questions: Numbers 7

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. In Numbers 7, how is the final erection of the worship center celebrated?
  2. According to Numbers 7:2-3 what did the leaders of the Israelites bring as a group to celebrate the completion of the Mishkan?
  3. According to Numbers 7:10 and following, what additional gifts did the Nesiim bring?
  4. Is the order of the Nesiim the same as the order in the census (Numbers 1)? If no—why the change?
  5. Is there any variation in what each of the Nesiim brought?
  6. When is this portion of Torah read in the holiday readings?
  7. In Numbers 7:89—what Voice speaks to Moses from the Ark covering, between the cherubs?
  8. Why would this sentence end the narrative of the dedication of the worship center?
