Offerings of the Leaders
1 Now it happened on (C1)the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, that he (C2)anointed it and set it apart as holy with all its furnishings and the altar and all its utensils; he anointed them and set them apart as holy.2 Then (C1)the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers' households, (C2)brought an offering near (they were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who (F1)were over the (F2)numbered men).3 And they brought their offering before Yahweh, six (C1)covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders and an ox for each one, and they brought them near before the tabernacle.4 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,5 "Accept these things from them, that they may be (F1)used in the service of the tent of meeting, and you shall 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 Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to (C1)their service,8 and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to (C1)their service, under the (F1)direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.9 But he did not give any to the sons of Kohath because theirs was (C1)the service of the holy objects, which they carried on the shoulder.
10 And the leaders brought near the dedication offering (F1)for the altar (F2)when (C1)it was anointed, so the leaders brought their offering near before the altar.11 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Let them bring their offering near, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar."
