¹ And it came to pass in the day in which Moses finished the setting-up of the tabernacle, that he anointed it, and consecrated it, and all its furniture, and the altar and all its furniture, he even anointed them, and consecrated them. ² And the princes of Israel brought gifts, twelve princes of their fathers’ houses: these were the heads of tribes, these are they that presided over the numbering. ³ And they brought their gift before the Lord, six covered waggons, and twelve oxen; a waggon from two princes, and a calf from each: and they brought them before the tabernacle. ⁴ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁵ Take of them, and they shall be for the works of the services of the tabernacle of witness: and thou shalt give them to the Levites, to each one according to his ministration. ⁶ And Moses took the waggons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. ⁷ And he gave two waggons and four oxen to the sons of Gedson, according to their ministrations. ⁸ And four waggons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari according to their ministrations, by Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹ But to the sons of Caath he gave them not, because they have the ministrations of the sacred things: they shall bear them on their shoulders.
