Offerings for the dedication of the altar
1On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, when he had anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and had anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils, 2the leaders of Israel, the heads of their ancestral families, brought offerings. They were the leaders of the tribes, the men who had been in charge of those who were counted. 3They brought their offering before the LORD: six covered carts and twelve oxen, one cart for every two leaders and an ox from each one. They presented them in front of the tabernacle.a 4The LORD said to Moses, 5“Accept these from them, so that they may be used for the work of the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites, to each as his work requires.” 6So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required. 8And he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required. They were under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9But he gave none to the Kohathites, because they were responsible for the holy things, which they carried on their shoulders. 10The leaders also brought offerings for the dedication of the altar at the time it was anointed. They presented their offerings in front of the altar. 11And the LORD said to Moses, “They are to present their offerings for the dedication of the altar one leader each day.”
