And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
His offering was one silver plate that weighed 130 shekels, and one silver bowl that weighed 70 shekels, measured by the sanctuary's standard weight. Both were filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering.
This verse describes the valuable silver dishes filled with flour and oil that were brought as offerings to God during the dedication of the tabernacle.
📚 Historical Context
This takes place during the dedication of the tabernacle in the wilderness, when each tribal leader brought identical, elaborate offerings over twelve consecutive days. These were grain offerings (not meat offerings as the KJV suggests) made of fine flour and oil, representing the people's dedication of their daily sustenance to God. The standardized weights ensured fairness and showed the equal importance of each tribe before God.
