The number six in biblical numerology often symbolizes human effort and labor, as man was created on the sixth day. It is a reminder of the human role in divine worship and the dedication required in serving God.<p><b>Eliasaph son of Deuel</b><br />Eliasaph, meaning "God has added," is a name that reflects the blessings and increase that come from God. The mention of his lineage, "son of Deuel," ties him to the tribe of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This connection emphasizes the communal and familial aspects of worship and dedication, as each tribe participates in the offerings.<p><b>the leader of the Gadites</b><br />The Gadites were descendants of Gad, one of Jacob's sons. Historically, the tribe of Gad was known for its warriors and strength, often positioned on the eastern side of the Jordan River. This phrase highlights the leadership role within the tribe, indicating responsibility and representation before God. It underscores the importance of strong, godly leadership in guiding a community in worship and dedication.<p><b>brought his offering</b><br />The act of bringing an offering is a significant gesture of worship and devotion. In the Hebrew context, offerings were a way to express gratitude, seek atonement, and dedicate oneself to God. This phrase reflects the personal and communal commitment to God, as each leader brings forth what is required for the dedication of the altar. It is a reminder of the importance of giving and sacrifice in the life of faith.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/7-42.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">On the sixth</span><br /><span class="heb">הַשִּׁשִּׁ֔י</span> <span class="translit">(haš·šiš·šî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Number - ordinal masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8345.htm">Strong's 8345: </a> </span><span class="str2">Sixth, ord, fractional</span><br /><br /><span class="word">day</span><br /><span class="heb">בַּיּוֹם֙</span> <span class="translit">(bay·yō·wm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> </span><span class="str2">A day</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Eliasaph</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶלְיָסָ֖ף</span> <span class="translit">(’el·yā·sāp̄)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_460.htm">Strong's 460: </a> </span><span class="str2">Eliasaph -- 'God has added', two Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">son</span><br /><span class="heb">לִבְנֵ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(liḇ·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Deuel,</span><br /><span class="heb">דְּעוּאֵֽל׃</span> <span class="translit">(də·‘ū·’êl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1845.htm">Strong's 1845: </a> </span><span class="str2">Deuel -- 'known of God', a Gadite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the leader</span><br /><span class="heb">נָשִׂ֖יא</span> <span class="translit">(nā·śî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5387.htm">Strong's 5387: </a> </span><span class="str2">An exalted one, a king, sheik, a rising mist</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the Gadites,</span><br /><span class="heb">בֶּן־</span> <span class="translit">(ben-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">[drew near].</span><br /><span class="heb">גָ֑ד</span> <span class="translit">(ḡāḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1410.htm">Strong's 1410: </a> </span><span class="str2">Gad -- a son of Jacob, also his tribe and its territory, also a prophet</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/numbers/7-42.htm">OT Law: Numbers 7:42 On the sixth day Eliasaph the son (Nu Num.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/numbers/7-41.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Numbers 7:41"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Numbers 7:41" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/numbers/7-43.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Numbers 7:43"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Numbers 7:43" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
