Numbers 7

1And it happened on the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and consecrated it, along with all its furnishings, and the altar with all its utensils; he anointed them and consecrated them.

2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, brought offerings. They were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones standing over those who were counted.

3And they brought their offering before Yahweh: six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two leaders and an ox for each one; and they presented them before the tabernacle.

4Then the LORD said to Moses, saying,

5Take them from them, and let them be for doing the service of the tent of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, each according to his service.

6So Moses took the carts and the cattle and gave them to the Levites.

7He gave the two carts and the four cattle to the sons of Gershon, according to their service.

8And he gave the four carts and the eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

9But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the holy things was upon them; they were to carry them on the shoulder.

10Then the leaders presented the dedication offering for the altar on the day it was anointed, and the leaders presented their offering before the altar.
