Numbers 7
The Scriptures (ISR 1998)

1And it came to be, when Mosheh finished setting up the Dwelling Place, that he anointed it and set it apart and all its furnishings, as well as the altar and all its utensils. Thus he anointed them and set them apart.

2And the leaders of Yisra’ĕl, heads of their fathers’ houses who were the leaders of the tribes and over the ones registered, drew near,

3and they brought their offering before יהוה: six covered wagons and twelve cattle, a wagon for every two of the leaders, and for each one a bull. And they brought them near before the Dwelling Place.

4And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

5“Accept these from them, and they shall be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting. And you shall give them to the Lĕwites, each one according to his service.”

6And Mosheh took the wagons and the cattle, and gave them to the Lĕwites.

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

8And he gave four wagons and eight cattle to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar, son of Aharon the priest.

9But to the sons of Qehath he gave none, because theirs was the service of the set-apart objects, which they bore on their shoulders.

10And the leaders brought the dedication offering of the altar in the day it was anointed. So the leaders brought their offering before the altar.

11And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Let them bring their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.”
