Explained for Children
Imagine it's your birthday and your friends are giving you presents one by one. On the sixth day, your friend Eliasaph, who is the leader of your group of friends, comes and gives you his present. That's a bit like what's happening here, but with offerings to God.
Historical Background
The Book of Numbers was written by Moses around 1400 BC. It describes the events that happened to the Israelites during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. This verse is part of a detailed list of offerings given by the leaders of each tribe.
