* On the seventh.
   Both Jewish and Christian writers have been surprised that
   this work of offering went forward on the seventh day (which
   they suppose to have been a sabbath), as well as on the other
   days.  But, 1. there is no absolute proof that this seventh
   day of offering was a sabbath.  2.  Were it even so, could
   the people be better employed than in thus consecrating
   themselves and their services to the Lord?  We have already
   seen that every act was a religious act; and we may rest
   assured, that no day was too holy for the performance of such
   acts as are here recorded.  Here it may be observed, that
   Moses has thought fit to set down distinctly, and at full
   length, the offerings of the princes of each tribe, though,
   as we have already observed, they were the very same, both in
   quantity and quality, that an honourable mention might be
   made of every one apart, and that none might think himself in
   the least neglected.
