Numbers 7
1NOW on the day when Moses finished the rearing up of the tabernacle, he anointed it, and hallowed it, and all the implements thereof; and the altar, and all its utensils; and when he had anointed them, and hallowed them,
2the chiefs of Israel, the twelve chiefs of the houses of their head families who were the chiefs of the tribes, the same who attended at the review, made an offering,
3and brought as their gifts before the Lord, six covered waggons, and twelve oxen, a waggon from two chiefs, and an ox from each one.
4And when they had brought them before the Lord, the Lord spoke to Moses saying,
5Receive them from them, and they shall be for the works of the service of the tabernacle of the testimony; and thou shalt give them to the Levites, to each community according to their service.
6So Moses, having taken the waggons and the oxen, gave them to the Levites—
7he gave two waggons and four oxen to the Gersonites, according to their service;
8and four waggons and eight oxen, he gave to the Merarites, according to their service, by Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
9But to the Kaathites he gave none, because they having charge of the services of the sanctuary, are to carry the sacred objects on their shoulders.
10The chiefs tendered also an offering for the dedication of the altar, on the day he anointed it. But when the chiefs brought their gift over against the altar, at some distance from it,
11the Lord said to Moses, One chief a day. Let them bring forward every chief his gifts on his day, for the dedication of the altar.
