| 1On the day Moses set up the Tabernacle, he anointed it and set it apart as holy. He also anointed and set apart all its furnishings and the altar with its utensils. | 1When Moses had completed setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and he anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils. |
| 2Then the leaders of Israel—the tribal leaders who had registered the troops—came and brought their offerings. | 2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their clans, made an offering. They were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who had been supervising the numbering. |
| 3Together they brought six large wagons and twelve oxen. There was a wagon for every two leaders and an ox for each leader. They presented these to the LORD in front of the Tabernacle. | 3They brought their offering before the LORD, six covered carts and twelve oxen--one cart for every two of the leaders, and an ox for each one; and they presented them in front of the tabernacle. |
| 4Then the LORD said to Moses, | 4Then the LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 5“Receive their gifts, and use these oxen and wagons for transporting the Tabernacle. Distribute them among the Levites according to the work they have to do.” | 5"Receive these gifts from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tent of meeting; and you must give them to the Levites, to every man as his service requires." |
| 6So Moses took the wagons and oxen and presented them to the Levites. | 6So Moses accepted the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. |
| 7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonite division for their work, | 7He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their service required; |

| 9But he gave none of the wagons or oxen to the Kohathite division, since they were required to carry the sacred objects of the Tabernacle on their shoulders. | 9But to the Kohathites he gave none, because the service of the holy things, which they carried on their shoulders, was their responsibility. |
| 10The leaders also presented dedication gifts for the altar at the time it was anointed. They each placed their gifts before the altar. | 10The leaders offered gifts for the dedication of the altar when it was anointed. And the leaders presented their offering before the altar. |
