7 2 The heads or princes of Israel offer at the setting up of the Tabernacle. 10 And at the dedication of the Altar. 19 God speaketh to Moses from the Mercy seat.
1 Now when Moses had finished the setting up of the Tabernacle, and (A)anointed it and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, and the altar with all the [a]instruments thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them,
2 Then the [b]princes of Israel, heads over the houses of their fathers, (they were the princes of the tribes, who were over them that were numbered) offered,
3 And brought their offering before the Lord, six [c]covered chariots, and twelve oxen: one chariot for two princes, and for every one an ox, and they offered them before the Tabernacle.
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
5 Take these of them, that they may be to do the [d]service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according unto his office.
6 So Moses took the chariots and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites:
7 Two chariots and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according unto their [e]office.
8 And four chariots and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according unto their office, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the Priest.
9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, [f]because the charge of the Sanctuary belonged to them, which they did bear upon their shoulders.
10 ¶ The princes also offered in the [g]dedication for the altar in the day that it was anointed: then the princes offered their offering before the altar.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses, One prince one day, and another prince another day, shall offer their offering, for the dedication of the altar.
12 ¶ So then on the first day did Nahshon the son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah offer his offering.

Offerings at the Dedication of the Tabernacle
7 When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle,(A) he anointed(B) and consecrated it and all its furnishings.(C) He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.(D) 2 Then the leaders of Israel,(E) the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted,(F) made offerings. 3 They brought as their gifts before the Lord six covered carts(G) and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.
4 The Lord said to Moses, 5 “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.”
6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites,(H) as their work required, 8 and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites,(I) as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. 9 But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites,(J) because they were to carry on their shoulders(K) the holy things, for which they were responsible.
10 When the altar was anointed,(L) the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication(M) and presented them before the altar. 11 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar.”
