2 Cor. 5:19‑21• 19how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.
 20We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as it were beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.
 21Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that *we* might become God's righteousness in him. (2 Cor. 5:19‑21)
this was the offering.It is worthy of remark, that the different tribes are represented here as bringing their offerings precisely in the same order in which they encamped about the tabernacle, (see ch. 2; 10;) beginning at the East, then proceeding to the South, then to the West, and ending with the North, according to the course of the sun.
Their order may be thus viewed:East. 1.
Judah:
Nahshon. 2.
Issachar:
Nathaneel. 3.
Zebulun:
Eliab.South. 4.
Reuben:
Elizur. 5.
Simeon:
Shelumiel. 6.
Gad:
Eliasaph.West. 7.
Ephraim:
Elishama. 8.
Manasseh:
Gamaliel. 9.
Benjamin:
Abidan.North. 10.
Dan:
Ahiezer. 11.
Asher:
Pagiel. 12.
Naphtali:
Ahira.Thus God evinces that he "is not the author of confusion, but of peace."
(1 Co 14:33.)
It is also worthy of remark, that every tribe offers the same kind of offering, and in the same quantity, to shew, that as every tribe was equally indebted to God for its support, so each should testify an equal sense of obligation.
Besides, the vessels were all sacrificial vessels, and the animals were all clean animals, such as were proper for sacrifices; and therefore everything was intended to point out, that the people were to be a holy people, fully dedicated to God, and that God was to dwell among them. Thus, as the priests, altar, etc. were anointed, and the tabernacle dedicated, so the people, by this offering, became consecrated to God.
Therefore every act here was a religious act.
