- When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings. He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.
- Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted, made offerings.
- They brought as their gifts before the LORD six covered carts and twelve oxen--an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.
- The LORD said to Moses,
- "Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man's work requires."
|
- So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.
- He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required,
- and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.
- But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible.
- When the altar was anointed, the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication and presented them before the altar.
|
- For the LORD had said to Moses, "Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar."
- The one who brought his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah.
- His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering;
- one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense;
- one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;
|
- one male goat for a sin offering;
- and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old, to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab.
- On the second day Nethanel son of Zuar, the leader of Issachar, brought his offering.
- The offering he brought was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering;
- one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense;
|
- one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;
- one male goat for a sin offering;
- and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old, to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Nethanel son of Zuar.
- On the third day, Eliab son of Helon, the leader of the people of Zebulun, brought his offering.
- His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering;
|
- one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense;
- one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;
- one male goat for a sin offering;
- and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old, to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Eliab son of Helon.
