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 when Moses made an end of rearing up the habitation and anointing it, and hallowing it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar, and all the utensils thereof, —both of anointing them, and hallowing 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, the heads of their ancestral houses, made an offering, —they being princes of the tribes, they being the men who stood over them who were numbered:

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.

yea then brought they in as their offering, before Yahweh—six covered waggons, and twelve oxen, a waggon for every two of the princes and an ox for each one, —yea they brought them near before the habitation.

4 The Lord told Moses,

Then spake Yahweh 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 [them] of them, so shall they be for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting, —and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to the need of his laborious work.

6 Moses accepted the wagons and oxen and handed them over to the Levites.

So Moses took the waggons, 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 of the waggons and four of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Gershon, —according to the need of their laborious work;

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 of the waggons, and eight of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Merari, —according to the need of their laborious work, in the hand of Ithamar 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, gave he none, —because as to the laborious work of the sanctuary which pertained unto them, upon their shoulders, were they to carry it.

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

So then the princes offered for the dedication of the altar, on the day it was anointed, —yea the princes offered their oblation 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 Yahweh said unto Moses: Each prince on his appointed day, thus shall they offer their oblation, for the dedication of the altar.
