Notes from Num 10

I. Orders given about the making and using of silver trumpets, which seems to have been the last of all the commandments God gave upon mount Sinai, and one of the least, yet not without its significancy (v. 1-10).
II. The history of the removal of Israel's camp from mount Sinai, and their orderly march into the wilderness of Paran (v. 11-28).
III. Moses's treaty with Hobab, his brother-in-law (v. 29-32).

Notes from Num 7
God having set up house (as it were) in the midst of the camp of Israel, the princes of Israel here come a visiting with their presents, as tenants to their landlord, in the name of their respective tribes.
I. They brought presents,
1. Upon the dedication of the tabernacle, for the service of that (v. 1-9).
2. Upon the dedication of the altar, for the use of that (v. 10-88). And,
II. God graciously signified his acceptance of them (v. 89). The two foregoing chapters were the records of additional laws which God gave to Israel, this is the history of the additional services which Israel performed to God.
