On the seventh day
The phrase "on the seventh day" signifies completion and perfection in biblical numerology. The number seven often represents divine completeness, as seen in the creation account where God rested on the seventh day. This day marks the culmination of a week-long dedication of offerings, symbolizing the fullness of worship and dedication to God. It reminds us of the importance of rest and reflection in our spiritual journey, acknowledging God's sovereignty and provision.

Elishama son of Ammihud
Elishama, whose name means "God has heard," is a significant figure in the tribe of Ephraim. His lineage, being the son of Ammihud, places him within a respected family line, emphasizing the importance of heritage and faithfulness in leadership. This highlights the biblical principle that God hears and responds to the cries of His people, and He raises leaders who are attuned to His voice. Elishama's role underscores the responsibility of leaders to be attentive to God's guidance and to lead with integrity.

the leader of the Ephraimites
Ephraim, one of the tribes of Israel, holds a prominent place in biblical history. As a leader of the Ephraimites, Elishama represents a tribe known for its strength and fruitfulness, as prophesied by Jacob in Genesis 48:19. The Ephraimites were often seen as a leading tribe in the northern kingdom of Israel. This leadership role signifies the importance of stewardship and the call to lead others in faithfulness to God's covenant. It serves as a reminder that leadership in God's kingdom is both a privilege and a responsibility, requiring wisdom and humility.

drew near
The act of drawing near is a powerful expression of worship and devotion. In the Hebrew context, drawing near often implies approaching God with reverence and a heart prepared for offering. This phrase encapsulates the essence of worship—coming into the presence of God with a sincere and humble heart. It challenges believers to consider how they approach God in their own lives, encouraging a posture of reverence and readiness to offer themselves fully to Him. This act of drawing near is a beautiful reminder of the intimacy and relationship God desires with His people.

Verse 48. - On the seventh day. This did not necessarily fall on the sabbath; but if the days of offering were consecutive, one of them must have done so, and the order of offering was the same as on other days.
