Numbers 7:1-41 ▼

1 The same day that Moses finished setting up, anointing, and consecrating the tent and its utensils, he also anointed and consecrated the altar and its utensils.

2 Then the presiding leaders of Israel, as heads of the ancestral houses, brought an offering. They were the leaders of the tribes who supervised the census.

3 They brought their offering into the LORD's presence, consisting of six covered carts and twelve oxen—one cart each from two leaders and an ox from each one. After they presented them in front of the tent,

4 the LORD told Moses,

5 |Take these gifts from them and use them in service at the Tent of Meeting. Present them to the descendants of Levi, distributing them to each person according to his work.|

6 So Moses took the carts and the oxen and presented them to the descendants of Levi.

7 Two carts and four oxen were given to the descendants of Gershon for their work.

8 Four carts and eight oxen were given to the descendants of Merari for their work.

9 But he gave none of them to the descendants of Kohath, because their responsibility was to carry the holy things on their shoulders.

10 The leaders brought the offerings for the dedication of the altar the same day that it was anointed. After the leaders brought their offering to the altar,

11 the LORD told Moses, |They are to present their offerings, one leader per day, for the dedication of the altar.|
