On the eleventh day
This phrase marks the continuation of a sequence of events, specifically the offerings brought by the leaders of Israel during the dedication of the altar. The number eleven in biblical numerology often signifies disorder or incompleteness, yet here it is part of a divinely ordered sequence, showing God's meticulous attention to detail and the importance of each tribe's contribution. Historically, the dedication of the altar was a significant event, symbolizing the unity and collective worship of the Israelites.

Pagiel
Pagiel, whose name means "God intervenes" or "God meets," was the leader of the tribe of Asher. His name reflects a deep theological truth about God's active role in the lives of His people. In the context of Numbers, each leader's offering is a testament to their acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and provision. Pagiel's participation underscores the inclusivity of God's covenant with all the tribes of Israel.

son of Ocran
The mention of Pagiel as the "son of Ocran" serves to establish his lineage and authority within the tribe of Asher. In ancient Israel, genealogy was crucial for establishing identity and legitimacy. Ocran, though not much is known about him, is part of the narrative that ties the people of Israel to their ancestral promises and responsibilities.

the leader of the Asherites
As the leader of the Asherites, Pagiel held a position of significant responsibility. The tribe of Asher, named after one of Jacob's sons, was known for its prosperity and abundance, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49:20. This phrase highlights the role of leadership in guiding the people in worship and obedience to God, emphasizing the importance of godly leadership in maintaining the spiritual health of the community.

offered his offering
This phrase indicates the act of giving, which is central to the worship practices of Israel. The offerings were not just ritualistic but were expressions of gratitude, devotion, and acknowledgment of God's provision. The Hebrew root for "offered" conveys the idea of bringing something near, symbolizing the drawing near to God through acts of worship. This act of offering by Pagiel is a model of faithful stewardship and devotion.
