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 fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all its instruments, both 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, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, 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 of the princes, and for each one an ox: 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 it of them, that they may be to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them to 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 to the Levites.

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

Two wagons and four oxen he gave to 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 wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand 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 to the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging to them was that they should 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.

And the princes offered for dedicating the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered 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 to Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
