Numbers 7

Offerings of the Leaders

7Now it came to pass, when Moses had finished ^asetting up the tabernacle, that he ^banointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them. ²Then ^cthe leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the leaders of the tribes ¹and over those who were numbered, made an offering. ³And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle.

⁴Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁵“Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.” ⁶So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. ⁷Two carts and four oxen ^dhe gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; ^8eand four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the ²authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because theirs was ^fthe service of the holy things, ^gwhich they carried on their shoulders.

¹⁰Now the leaders offered ^hthe dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed; so the leaders offered their offering before the altar. ¹¹For the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.”
