Offerings of Dedication

1And it came to pass in the day in which Moses finished the setting-up of the tabernacle, that he anointed it, and consecrated it, and all its furniture, and the altar and all its furniture, he even anointed them, and consecrated them. 2And the princes of Israel brought gifts, twelve princes of their fathers' houses: these were the heads of tribes, these are they that presided over the numbering. 3And they brought their gift before the Lord, six covered waggons, and twelve oxen; a waggon from two princes, and a calf from each: and they brought them before the tabernacle. 4And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 5Take of them, and they shall be for the works of the services of the tabernacle of witness: and thou shalt give them to the Levites, to each one according to his ministration. 6And Moses took the waggons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. 7And he gave two waggons and four oxen to the sons of Gedson, according to their ministrations. 8And four waggons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari according to their ministrations, by Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9But to the sons of Caath he gave them not, because they have the ministrations of the sacred things: they shall bear them on their shoulders.

10And the rulers brought gifts for the dedication of the altar, in the day in which he anointed it, and the rulers brought their gifts before the altar. 11And the Lord said to Moses, One chief each day, they shall offer their gifts a chief each day for the dedication of the altar.
