His offering
This phrase refers to the personal and voluntary contribution made by a leader of Israel. In the context of Numbers 7, each tribal leader presents an offering to the Lord as part of the dedication of the altar. The Hebrew word for "offering" is "קָרְבָּן" (korban), which signifies something brought near to God. This act of giving is a demonstration of devotion and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and provision.

one silver platter
The silver platter, or "כְּעָרָה" (ke'arah) in Hebrew, is a significant item in the offering. Silver, a precious metal, symbolizes purity and redemption in biblical symbolism. The use of silver in the tabernacle offerings underscores the value and importance of the dedication ceremony. Historically, silver was a common medium of exchange and a sign of wealth, indicating the leaders' willingness to give generously to God.

weighing a hundred and thirty shekels
The specific weight of the silver platter, "a hundred and thirty shekels," highlights the precision and care in the offerings. The shekel was a standard unit of weight and currency in ancient Israel. This precise measurement reflects the order and structure God desires in worship and offerings, emphasizing that God is a God of order and not chaos.

and one silver bowl of seventy shekels
The silver bowl, or "מִזְרָק" (mizrak), also made of silver, complements the platter. The bowl's weight of seventy shekels further illustrates the detailed instructions given by God for worship. The number seventy often represents completeness or perfection in the Bible, suggesting that the offering is whole and acceptable to God.

according to the sanctuary shekel
This phrase indicates that the weight of the offerings was measured by the sanctuary shekel, a standard set by the tabernacle. The sanctuary shekel was slightly heavier than the common shekel, ensuring that the offerings met a higher standard. This reflects the principle that what is offered to God should be of the highest quality and integrity.

both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil
The fine flour and oil mixture is a key component of the grain offering, or "מִנְחָה" (minchah). Fine flour represents the best of the harvest, and oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit and anointing. Together, they signify a life dedicated to God, filled with the Spirit and producing good works. This offering is a fragrant aroma to the Lord, symbolizing the worshiper's desire to honor God with their best.

for a grain offering
The grain offering, part of the Levitical sacrificial system, was a voluntary act of worship and thanksgiving. It was an expression of gratitude for God's provision and a commitment to live a life pleasing to Him. The grain offering, unlike animal sacrifices, was bloodless, symbolizing peace and fellowship with God. It serves as a reminder of the believer's call to offer themselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1).
