On the second day
This phrase marks the continuation of a significant event, the dedication of the altar, which began on the first day. The sequential nature of the offerings over twelve days underscores the order and structure that God ordained for the Israelites. Each tribe had its appointed time, reflecting the divine order and the importance of each tribe in the community of Israel. The "second day" signifies the ongoing commitment and participation of the tribes in the worship and service to God, emphasizing that worship is a continuous, communal act.

Nethanel son of Zuar
Nethanel, whose name means "God has given," is a representative of the tribe of Issachar. His lineage, "son of Zuar," is significant as it connects him to his tribal heritage and identity. In the Hebrew tradition, names and genealogies are crucial, often reflecting one's character or destiny. Nethanel's role as a leader highlights the importance of godly leadership and the responsibility of guiding one's people in faithfulness to God's commands.

the leader of Issachar
Issachar was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its wisdom and understanding of the times (1 Chronicles 12:32). The tribe's leader, Nethanel, is entrusted with the honor of presenting the offering on behalf of his people.

The tribe of Issachar's reputation for discernment and wisdom is reflected in their leader's actions, serving as a model for godly leadership.

This phrase indicates an act of approaching God, which in the context of the offerings, is a sacred and reverent action. The Hebrew root for "drew near" often connotes coming into the presence of God, suggesting both physical proximity and spiritual readiness. It reflects the heart posture required when approaching the divine—one of humility, reverence, and obedience. This act of drawing near is a reminder of the privilege and responsibility of coming before God, emphasizing the need for purity and devotion in worship.
