Numbers – Chapter 7

Offerings of the Tribal Leaders

¹Now, when Moses had completed the erection of the tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it with all its equipment, as well as the altar with all its equipment. After he anointed and consecrated them,

²an offering was made by the tribal leaders of Israel, who were heads of ancestral houses, the same leaders of the tribes who supervised those enrolled.

³The offering they brought before the LORD consisted of six wagons for baggage and twelve oxen, that is, a wagon for every two tribal leaders, and an ox for each. These they presented before the tabernacle.

⁴The LORD then said to Moses:

⁵Accept their offering, that these things may be put to use to maintain the tent of meeting. Assign them to the Levites, to each according to his duties.

⁶So Moses accepted the wagons and oxen, and assigned them to the Levites.

⁷He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites according to their duties,

⁸and four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites according to their duties, under the supervision of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

⁹He gave none to the Kohathites, because they were responsible for maintenance of the sacred objects that had to be carried on their shoulders.

¹⁰For the dedication of the altar also, the tribal leaders brought offerings when it was anointed; the leaders presented their offering before the altar.
