Numbers 7

On the day Moses finished setting up the Tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it along with all its equipment — the altar and all its utensils — anointing and consecrating everything.

KJV 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;

The leaders of Israel — the heads of their ancestral households, the tribal leaders who had overseen the census — came forward with offerings.

KJV 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:

They brought their offering before the LORD: six covered wagons and twelve oxen — one wagon for every two leaders and one ox from each — and presented them in front of the Tabernacle.

KJV 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.

The LORD spoke to Moses:

KJV And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

"Accept these from them — they will be used in the service of the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites, to each division according to its duties."

KJV 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.

So Moses accepted the wagons and oxen and distributed them to the Levites.

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

He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites, suited to their duties.

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

He gave four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites, suited to their duties under the supervision of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

KJV 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.

But to the Kohathites he gave nothing, because the sacred service assigned to them required carrying the holy objects on their shoulders.

KJV 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.

The leaders also brought their dedication offerings for the altar on the day it was anointed. The leaders presented their offerings before the altar.

KJV 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.

The LORD said to Moses, "They are to present their offerings one leader per day, one leader per day, for the dedication of the altar."

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