< Numbers 7 >
1 On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings, along with the altar and all its utensils.
And it came to pass on the day that Moses had finally set up the tabernacle, and had anointed, and sanctified it, and all its vessels, as also the altar and all its vessels, and had anointed them, and sanctified 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.
That the princes of Israel, the heads of their family divisions, who were the princes of the tribes, the same who had superintended the numbering, offered.
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 offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two princes, and an ox for each one: and they presented them before the tabernacle.
4 And the LORD said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 it from them, that they may be used to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.
6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.
And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
7 He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen, as their service required,
Two of the wagons and four of the oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
8 and he gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen, as their service required, all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
And four of the wagons and eight of the oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the supervision of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
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 unto the sons of Kehath he gave none; because the service of the sanctuary belonged unto them, they were to bear upon their shoulders.
10 When the altar was anointed, the leaders approached with their offerings for its dedication and presented them before the altar.
The princes also offered for the dedicating of the altar on the day that it was anointed; and the princes presented their offering before the altar.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to present his offering for the dedication of the altar.”
And the Lord said unto Moses, One prince each on a given day, shall they offer their offering, for the dedication of the altar.
