- Chapter 7 -

1
When Moses had finished setting up the sacred tent, he poured oil on it, and set it apart for the honor of Yahweh. He also dedicated the things that are inside the sacred tent, and the altar for burning sacrifices, and all the things that would be used at the altar.
2
Then the leaders of the twelve Israelite tribes, the same men who had helped Aaron and Moses to count the men who could fight in battles,
3
came to the sacred tent, bringing gifts to Yahweh. They brought six sturdy carts and twelve oxen, one ox from each of the leaders and a cart from each of the two leaders.
4
Then Yahweh said to Moses,
5
“Accept these gifts, in order that the descendants of Levi can use them for carrying the sacred items that are here at the sacred tent.”
6
So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the descendants of Levi.
7
He gave two carts and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon for their work,
8
and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the descendants of Merari for their work. Aaron’s son Ithamar was the supervisor of all their work.
9
But he did not give any carts or oxen to the descendants of Kohath, because they took care of the sacred items that were to be carried on their shoulders, not on carts.
10
On the day that the altar was dedicated, the twelve leaders brought other gifts to be dedicated and put them in front of the altar.
11
Yahweh said to Moses, “On each of the next twelve days one leader should bring his gifts for the dedication of the altar.”

On the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and sanctified them;
2
the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, gave offerings. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were counted;
3
and they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox. They presented them before the tabernacle.
