Numbers 7

Offerings at the Tabernacle's Consecration

1 Now it came to pass, when Moses had finished a setting up the tabernacle, that he b anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them. 2 Then c the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, who were the leaders of the tribes 1 and over those who were numbered, made an offering. 3 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle. 4 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 5 "Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service." 6 So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. 7 Two carts and four oxen d he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; 8 e and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the 2 authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because theirs was f the service of the holy things, g which they carried on their shoulders. 10 Now the leaders offered h the dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed; so the leaders offered their offering before the altar. 11 For the LORD said to Moses, "They shall offer their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar."
