Numbers 7

1 On the same day that Moses finished putting up the Tabernacle, he anointed it and dedicated it, along with all its furniture, 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 the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;

2 The Israelite leaders who were the heads of their families came and gave an offering. They were the same leaders of the tribes who had worked on the registration of the Israelites.

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 to the Lord an offering of six covered wagons and twelve oxen. Each leader gave an ox, and two leaders shared in giving a wagon. They presented them in front of 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 The Lord told Moses,

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

5 “Accept what they're giving you and use them in the work of the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites to use as required.”

Take it of them, that they may be 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 Moses accepted the wagons and oxen and handed them over to the Levites.

And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.

7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the families of Gershon to use as they required.

Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:

8 He gave four wagons and eight oxen to the families of Merari, to use as they required. The work was all to be done under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

9 He didn't give any wagons or oxen to the Kohathites because their responsibility was to carry on their shoulders the holy objects assigned to their care.

But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.

10 The day the altar was anointed, the leaders came forward with their dedicatory offerings, presenting them in front of it.

And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.

11 The Lord told Moses, “Have one leader come every day and present his offering for the dedication of the altar.”

And the Lord said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
