On the ninth day
This phrase marks a specific point in the sequence of offerings brought by the leaders of the tribes of Israel. The number nine in biblical numerology often signifies finality or completeness, as it is the last of the single-digit numbers. In the context of the offerings, it suggests a nearing completion of the dedication process for the altar. Historically, the dedication of the altar was a significant event, symbolizing the readiness of the Israelites to worship and serve God in the tabernacle.

Abidan son of Gideoni
The name "Abidan" means "my father is judge" in Hebrew, reflecting a heritage of leadership and authority. This name is fitting for a leader of a tribe, as it implies a role of guidance and decision-making. "Gideoni" means "hewer" or "one who cuts down," which could symbolize strength and the ability to clear obstacles. The mention of Abidan's lineage emphasizes the importance of family heritage and the continuation of God's promises through generations.

the leader of the Benjamites
The tribe of Benjamin holds a unique place among the tribes of Israel. Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, and his descendants were known for their warrior skills and bravery. The tribe's territory was strategically located, and they played a significant role in Israel's history. As a leader, Abidan would have been responsible for representing his tribe before God and the other tribes, ensuring that the Benjamites were aligned with God's covenant.

drew near
This phrase indicates an act of approaching God, which in the context of the offerings, signifies worship and dedication. The Hebrew root for "drew near" is often associated with the act of presenting offerings or sacrifices, a central aspect of Israelite worship. This act of drawing near is not just physical but also spiritual, symbolizing a heart posture of reverence and submission to God. It reflects the broader biblical theme of God's desire for His people to come close to Him in faith and obedience.
