The first day signifies the start of a twelve-day period where each tribe presents offerings. This structured approach reflects the order and organization within the Israelite camp, as seen throughout the book of Numbers.<p><b>Nahshon son of Amminadab</b><br>Nahshon is a prominent figure in the tribe of Judah and is mentioned in several genealogies, including the lineage of Jesus Christ (<a href="/matthew/1-4.htm">Matthew 1:4</a>, <a href="/luke/3-32.htm">Luke 3:32</a>). His leadership role is highlighted as he is the first to present offerings, indicating his status and the importance of the tribe of Judah. Nahshon's presence underscores the fulfillment of Jacob's blessing that the scepter will not depart from Judah (<a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>).<p><b>from the tribe of Judah</b><br>Judah is one of the most significant tribes in Israel, known for its leadership and royal lineage. The tribe's prominence is evident in its encampment position and its role in leading the march (<a href="/numbers/2-3.htm">Numbers 2:3-9</a>). Judah's offering first may symbolize its preeminence and foreshadow the coming of the Messiah from this tribe.<p><b>drew near with his offering</b><br>The act of drawing near with an offering is a form of worship and dedication to God. It reflects the Israelites' obedience and reverence. The offerings presented by each tribe were identical, symbolizing unity and equality among the tribes. This act of drawing near is a precursor to the New Testament concept of drawing near to God through Christ (<a href="/hebrews/10-22.htm">Hebrews 10:22</a>).<p><b>his offering</b><br>The offerings brought by Nahshon and the other leaders were substantial and included silver, gold, and animals for sacrifice. These offerings were not only acts of worship but also served practical purposes in the maintenance of the tabernacle. The detailed description of the offerings in <a href="/numbers/7.htm">Numbers 7</a> emphasizes the importance of giving and sacrifice in the worship of God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nahshon.htm">Nahshon</a></b><br>He is the son of Amminadab and a leader of the tribe of Judah.
