A Most Interesting Name for a Book and A Most Significant Number of a Chapter

This website is based upon the significance of a particular number.  The only chapter in the entire Bible which contains a list of numbers, that when added together equals 2520, is Numbers Chapter 7.  Numbers Chapter 7 also happens to be the longest chapter in the Torah (The Pentateuch) with 89 verses.

Why is this seemingly imprecise number given as a requirement from the LORD, not just once, but twice, and the second time as its fractal, as to show their perfect relation to one another? 

Since it was the LORD who directed Moses and Aaron with these requirements, the number 2520 could accurately be referred to as "the divine standard."

Numbers Chapter 7 records the Dedication of the Altar over twelve days. On each of the twelve days, the leader (or prince) of one of the twelve tribes brought their offerings and various animals to sacrifice. Over the twelve days a combined total of 2520 shekels of silver and gold were given to be used as implements at the Altar and 252 animals were sacrificed as offerings to the LORD.

No detail of Scripture is without significance. Chuck Missler often said, "Every number, every place and name, every detail, every jot and tittle is there for our learning, our discovery, and our amazement."

The passage with the most references to the number 2520 is Daniel Chapter 9, and the main focus of that chapter is the prophecy of the Seventy Weeks, with a unique emphasis on the final 70th Week, the final 7 years (or 2520 days), before the promised Kingdom. 

Since Scripture makes clear that the mid-point of the 70th Week is marked by a cessation of the reinstated sacrificial system, could it be that what marks the beginning the 7-year covenant is the beginning of the sacrifices at a rededicated Altar?

Numbers Chapter 7 is entirely about the Dedication of the Altar. This Chapter is unique in its length and in its placement in a book that is named Numbers. 

Scripture is replete with "types" and "patterns" and this passage here in Numbers 7 may be giving us a pattern for a future 2520-day period that is initiated by a future dedication of a future altar. 

Further details of this future period of time are elaborated in Daniel Chapter 9. Daniel 9:27 marks the precise middle of the 70th Week of Daniel. The event that is clearly prophesied to be fulfilled at the mid-point of the final 7 years before Messiah's reign is the termination of sacrifice and offering.

1. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

Could it be that the "confirming" of the covenant" at the "beginning of the week" with many is related to the identical subject matter as the "middle of the week"?

Moses is the author of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah, and the Pentateuch, but less known, he is also the author of the oldest Psalm as well.

Revelation 21:3

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

Ephesians 2:19-22

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
