* On the tenth day.
   When the twelve days of the dedication commenced cannot be
   easily determined; but the computation of F. Scacchus seems
   highly probable.  He supposes, that the tabernacle being
   erected the first day of the first month of the second year
   after the departure from Egypt, seven days were spent in the
   consecration of it, and the altar, etc.; and that on the
   eight day, Moses began to consecrate Aaron and his sons,
   which lasted seven days more.  Then, on the fourteenth day of
   that month, was the feast day of unleavened bread; which God
   commanded to be observed in the first month (ch. 9), and
   which lasted till the 22nd.  The rest of the month, we may
   well suppose, was spent in giving, receiving, and delivering
   the laws contained in the book of Leviticus; after which, on
   the first day of the second month, Moses began to number the
   people, according to the command in the beginning of this
   book; which may be supposed to have lasted three days.  On
   the fourth, the Levites were numbered; on the next day we may
   suppose they were offered to God, and given to the Priests;
   and on the sixth, they were expiated and consecrated, as we
   read in the following chapter.  On the seventh day, their
   several charges were assigned them, (ch. 4;) after which, he
   supposes the princes began to offer, on the eight day of the
   second month, for the dedication of the altar, which lasted
   till the nineteenth day inclusively; and on the twentieth day
   of this month, they removed from Sinai to the wilderness of
   Paran.  (ch. 10:11, 12.)
