Parasha Naso talks about the donation of the Tribal Leaders to the Mishkan (Tabernacle).
The interesting thing is that each of the Nasi “Prince” of each tribe brought the exact thing one each day and the Torah enumerates each one and repeats the gift. It doesn’t enumerate the tribes and says they all brought this and this.
Chassidim thought teaches us that each one of the gifts is repeated because it doesn’t matter that they all gave the same, what matters is that each gift was important and it was received as such. Our Sages teach: “Of everything that G-d created in His world, He did not create anything unnecessarily.” This teaches us the importance of using all our resources including our talents and abilities, to the utmost, to fulfill the intention for which G-d created them. Likewise with the effective utilization of Time, our most precious commodity. A person should always be aware that: “I was created to serve my Maker, and be careful not to waste even a second of it!”
although each Prince gave exactly the same gift to the Mishkan, each one was recorded separately because each one was given differently and all their time and resources were invested in them.
