But you ask, ‘How have we defiled You?’ By saying that the table of the LORD is contemptible. / When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is it not wrong? And when you present the lame and sick ones, is it not wrong? Try offering them to your governor!

Each day, a different leader presents offerings, symbolizing unity and equal participation among the tribes. The ninth day signifies the ongoing commitment and orderliness in worship, reflecting the structured approach God desires in His people's devotion.<p><b>Abidan son of Gideoni</b><br>Abidan, whose name means "my father is judge," is a representative of the tribe of Benjamin. His lineage, being the son of Gideoni, places him within the historical context of the Israelite journey through the wilderness. The mention of his father emphasizes the importance of family heritage and leadership within the tribes. This lineage is significant as it connects to the broader narrative of Israel's history, where family lines often play crucial roles in God's unfolding plan.<p><b>the leader of the Benjamites</b><br>As the leader of the Benjamites, Abidan holds a position of authority and responsibility. The tribe of Benjamin, though small, is significant in Israel's history. It is the tribe from which Israel's first king, Saul, would later come. This leadership role underscores the importance of each tribe's contribution to the nation of Israel, regardless of size. The Benjamites' later history, including their role in the division and reunification of Israel, adds depth to the understanding of their leader's participation in this event.<p><b>drew near</b><br>The act of drawing near is a significant expression of worship and obedience. In the context of the tabernacle, drawing near involves approaching God's presence with reverence and the appropriate offerings. This phrase reflects the broader biblical theme of approaching God with humility and the right heart, as seen in other scriptures such as <a href="/james/4-8.htm">James 4:8</a>, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." It also foreshadows the ultimate drawing near to God through Jesus Christ, who provides believers with direct access to the Father.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/abidan.htm">Abidan</a></b><br>Abidan is identified as the son of Gideoni and the leader of the tribe of Benjamin.
