On the fourth day
This phrase marks the continuation of a significant event in the Israelite community—the dedication of the altar. Each day, a leader from one of the tribes of Israel presents offerings. The number four in biblical numerology often symbolizes completeness and universality, suggesting that the offerings are part of a comprehensive dedication process. Historically, the dedication of the altar was a pivotal moment for the Israelites, as it represented their commitment to God and His covenant.

Elizur son of Shedeur
The name "Elizur" means "God is my rock," reflecting a deep-seated faith and reliance on God. This name is fitting for a leader, as it signifies strength and stability derived from divine support. "Shedeur" means "field of light" or "spreader of light," which could imply that Elizur comes from a lineage that is meant to illuminate or guide others. In the context of the Israelite community, names were often prophetic or indicative of one's role or character.

the leader of the Reubenites
Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob, and his descendants formed one of the twelve tribes of Israel. As the leader of the Reubenites, Elizur held a position of significant responsibility and honor. The tribe of Reuben, despite its early prominence, had a complex history marked by both privilege and challenges. In Genesis, Reuben's actions led to a loss of his birthright, yet his tribe remained an integral part of the Israelite confederation. Elizur's leadership role underscores the continued importance of the Reubenites in the community.

drew near
This phrase indicates an act of approaching the altar to present offerings. In the Hebrew context, drawing near to God was an act of worship and reverence. It involved both physical proximity and a spiritual posture of humility and devotion. The act of drawing near is symbolic of the Israelites' desire to be close to God, to seek His presence, and to honor Him through their offerings. This concept is echoed throughout Scripture, where drawing near to God is associated with seeking His favor and experiencing His presence.
