The Offerings of the Leaders
1 On the day Moses finished setting
up the Tent of the Lord's
presence, he anointed and dedicated
the Tent and all its equipment, and
the altar and all its equipment.
2 Then the clan chiefs who were
leaders in the tribes of Israel, the
same men who were in charge of the
census,
3 brought their offerings to
the Lord: six wagons and twelve
oxen, a wagon for every two leaders
and an ox for each leader. After they
had presented them,
4 the Lord said
to Moses,
5 “Accept these gifts for
use in the work to be done for the
Tent; give them to the Levites according
to the work they have to
do.”
6 So Moses gave the wagons
and the oxen to the Levites.
7 He
gave two wagons and four oxen to
the Gershonites,
8 and four wagons
and eight oxen to the Merarites. All
their work was to be done under the
direction of Ithamar son of Aaron.
9 But Moses gave no wagons or oxen
to the Kohathites, because the sacred
objects they took care of had to
be carried on their shoulders.
10 The leaders also brought offerings
to celebrate the dedication of
the altar. When they were ready to
present their gifts at the altar,
11 the
Lord said to Moses, “Tell them that
each day for a period of twelve days
one of the leaders is to present his
gifts for the dedication of the altar.”
