NETfree - Numbers - 7

7:1  When Moses had completed setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and he anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.

7:2  Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their clans, made an offering. They were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who had been supervising the numbering.

7:3  They brought their offering before the LORD, six covered carts and twelve oxen - one cart for every two of the leaders, and an ox for each one; and they presented them in front of the tabernacle.

7:4  Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

7:5  "Receive these gifts from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tent of meeting; and you must give them to the Levites, to every man as his service requires."

7:6  So Moses accepted the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

7:7  He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their service required;

7:8  and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their service required, under the authority of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

7:9  But to the Kohathites he gave none, because the service of the holy things, which they carried on their shoulders, was their responsibility.

7:10  The leaders offered gifts for the dedication of the altar when it was anointed. And the leaders presented their offering before the altar.

7:11  For the LORD said to Moses, "They must present their offering, one leader for each day, for the dedication of the altar."
