On the eighth day
The phrase "on the eighth day" signifies a continuation of the dedication process of the altar, which began with the offerings from the leaders of the tribes of Israel. The number eight in biblical numerology often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order. In the context of the tabernacle, it represents the ongoing dedication and sanctification of the sacred space. Historically, the eighth day is significant in Jewish tradition, often associated with circumcision and the covenant with God, indicating a deeper spiritual renewal and commitment.

Gamaliel son of Pedahzur
Gamaliel, whose name means "God is my reward," was the leader of the tribe of Manasseh. His lineage, being the son of Pedahzur, places him within the context of the tribal leadership structure established by God through Moses. The tribe of Manasseh, one of the sons of Joseph, holds a unique place in Israel's history, often associated with strength and fruitfulness. Gamaliel's role in the offerings underscores the unity and collective responsibility of the tribes in worship and dedication to God.

the leader of the Manassites
This phrase highlights the organizational structure of the Israelite community, where each tribe had a designated leader responsible for representing them before God and the community. The Manassites, descendants of Manasseh, were known for their valor and significant contributions to the conquest of the Promised Land. The leadership role of Gamaliel emphasizes the importance of godly leadership and the responsibility of guiding the people in faithfulness and obedience to God's commands.

offered his offering
The act of offering is central to the worship practices of ancient Israel. It signifies devotion, gratitude, and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. The offerings made by the leaders were not only material gifts but also symbolic acts of worship and dedication. In the broader scriptural context, offerings are a means of maintaining a covenant relationship with God, expressing repentance, thanksgiving, and commitment to His will. Gamaliel's offering, like those of the other leaders, reflects the communal and individual dedication to God’s service.
