And it came to pass in the day in which Moses finished the setting-up of the tabernacle, that he anointed it, and consecrated it, and all its furniture, and the altar and all its furniture, he even anointed them, and consecrated them.

2 And the leaders of Israel, the heads of their families, presented an offering. These men were the tribal leaders who had supervised the registration.

And the princes of Israel brought [gifts], twelve princes of their fathers' houses: these were the heads of tribes, these are they that presided over the numbering.

3 They brought as their offering before the LORD six covered carts and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two leaders—and presented them before the tabernacle.

And they brought their gift before the Lord, six covered waggons, and twelve oxen; a waggon from two princes, and a calf from each: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

4 And the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

5 “Accept these gifts from them, that they may be used in the work of the Tent of Meeting. And give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service.”

Take of them, and they shall be for the works of the services of the tabernacle of witness: and you shall give them to the Levites, to each one according to his ministration.

6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.

And Moses took the waggons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.

7 He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen, as their service required,

9 But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since they were to carry on their shoulders the holy objects for which they were responsible.

But to the sons of Caath he gave them not, because they have the ministrations of the sacred things: they shall bear them on their shoulders.

And the rulers brought [gifts] for the dedication of the altar, in the day in which he anointed it, and the rulers brought their gifts before the altar.
