The quantities and materials of the chiefs' gifts in Numbers 7 are all significant, even if we don't have a full understanding of them today.
Scripture gives us many hints as to what these things mean, but rarely spells it out. Flour and oil is flesh and spirit. Silver is atonement and blood. Incense is prayer. The bull, ram, and sheep might be an allusion to the three patriarchs. The two peace offerings could be an allusion to Moses and Aaron, two witnesses to the covenant represented in the Tabernacle. etc
There are small, poetic chiasms throughout Scripture. Here's one in Numbers 7:10.
-A- Chiefs make offerings for the dedication of the altar
---B- On the day it was anointed
-A- Chiefs make offerings before the altar

If you don't think it matters, that's fine, but it's not the question. I'm just trying to get a more objective measure of what people in the Torah community actually believe, as opposed to what people say they believe.
One of our community members is offering to share some of their gifts with us, so if you have an aspiring teenager or a long-delayed personal interest, jump on Zoom with Anne Elliott and add a new arrow to your quiver!

When the scriptures say "the word or my word or words" it is referring to YHWH'S laws and commandments. Mark 4:20 or John 8:31-32 as an example "they hear the word and accept it and produce fruit". "If you continue in my word". John 17:7 "if you abide in me and my words". Something to think about.
