Hmm, how can I say this politely? This chapter was the best example of repetition I've yet seen in Scripture - the same exact phrases, over and over; 12 times in total (once for each of the leaders of the Israelite tribes). I'm sure this conveyed how important the dedication offerings they brought were, but when readnig it today it seems so unnecessary.
Oh well - at least it sounds like the next chapter should be interesting. We are left with a cliff-hanger at the end of the reading today: "Now when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the atonement lid that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim. Thus he spoke to him." (verse 89, NET) Wow, 89 verses!
