Numbers 7
Offerings of the Leaders
1 On (C1)the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle and had (C2)anointed and consecrated it and all its furniture, and the altar and all its utensils; he also anointed them and consecrated them for holy use.2 Then (C1)the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers' households, (C2)made offerings. (These were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who (F1)were over the men who were numbered.)3 They brought their offering before the LORD, six (C1)covered carts and twelve oxen; a cart for each two of the leaders and an ox for each one; and they presented them before the tabernacle.4 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,5 "Accept these things from them, so that they may be used in the service of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), and give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service."6 So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to (C1)their service in transporting the tabernacle;8 and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to (C1)their service in transporting the tabernacle, under the supervision of Ithamar the son of Aaron, the high priest.9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave nothing, because they were assigned (C1)the care of the holy things which they carried on their shoulders when the tabernacle was moved.
10 The leaders offered the dedication sacrifices for the altar on the day that (C1)it was anointed; and they offered their sacrifice before the altar.11 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Let them present their offerings, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar."
