Nasso - Maintaining Inspiration

What is the idea behind the gift of the 12 princes of wagons to the tabernacle? What is the depth of what is going on with the repetitious listing of their offerings? Why does it follow the Priestly blessings? Why do both these events occur on the eighth day of the Tabernacles dedication? What is the connection between the numbers 50 and 8? Why does the Torah ask us to count to 49 and seemingly to 50, if we only count to 49? How do we hold onto the inspiration we have received?

Why was Moshe upset that the command did not come through him? What was Hashem's response to Moshe? Why did this idea come from the tribe Yissachar? Why does the midrash tell us that these oxen never died? Why is it considered as if they carry the world with God?
