offered his offering] This offering was made the first day, of the first moneth, of the second yeare, when the Tabernacle was erected and consecrated, Exodus 40:18. though the mention of it (for speciall cause no doubt, albeit it appeare not unto us) be brought in in this place: they offered in the same order wherein they encamped about the Tabernacle and each chiefe Captaine offered not for himselfe onely, but for his Tribe; and every one is called Prince but the first, whereof the reason may be, for that having the honour to be the first, it could not be doubted but that the title was due unto him, as well as to the rest.
