In Bamidbar chapter 7, around verse 19, Rashi suddenly turns uncharacteristically "drushy". He starts bringing all kinds of gematrias about the korbanot that the nesiim bring. But the gematrias don't seem to have anything to do with the topic at hand in the Torah. Rashi normally doesn't depart much from the level of p'shat, so it is surprising to see him start making drashot--especially when they do not seem to be related at all. Why did Rashi bring these seemingly unrelated gematrias?
