Numbers 7

¹And it came to pass on the day Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle that he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its vessels. And he anointed them and consecrated them.

²The leaders of Israel, the heads of the houses of their fathers, they were the leaders of the tribes; these stood over the numbered and made an offering.

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

⁴And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

⁵“Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the Tent of Meeting. And you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.”

⁶And Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave to them to the Levites.

⁷Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service,

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

⁹And to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the holy things was theirs, which they carried on the shoulder.

¹⁰And the leaders offered the dedication for the altar when it was anointed, and the leaders offered their offerings before the face of the altar.

¹¹And YHWH said to Moses, “One the leader for the day—one the leader for the day—they shall offer their offerings for the dedication of the altar.”
