Offerings from the Leaders
7 On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle,(A) he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings, along with the altar and all its utensils. After he anointed and consecrated these things, 2 the leaders of Israel, the heads of their ancestral houses, presented an offering. They were the tribal leaders who supervised the registration.(B) 3 They brought as their offering before the Lord six covered carts and 12 oxen, a cart from every two leaders and an ox from each one, and presented them in front of the tabernacle.
4 The Lord said to Moses, 5 “Accept these from them to be used in the work of the tent of meeting, and give this offering to the Levites, to each division according to their service.”
6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen corresponding to their service,(C) 8 and gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen corresponding to their service,(D) under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since their responsibility was service related to the holy objects(E) carried on their shoulders.(F)
10 The leaders also presented the dedication gift for the altar when it was anointed.(G) The leaders presented their offerings in front of the altar. 11 The Lord told Moses, “Each day have one leader present his offering for the dedication of the altar.”(H)
12 The one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab(I) from the tribe of Judah. 13 His offering was one silver dish weighing 3¼ pounds[a] and one silver basin weighing 1¾ pounds,[b] measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering;(J) 14 one gold bowl weighing four ounces,[c] full of incense; 15 one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;(K) 16 one male goat for a sin offering;(L) 17 and two bulls, five rams, five male breeding goats, and five male lambs a year old, for the fellowship sacrifice.(M) This was the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab.

Orthodox Jewish Bible
7 And it came to pass on the day that Moshe had fully set up the Mishkan, and had anointed it, and set it apart as kodesh, and all the instruments thereof, both the Mizbe’ach and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and set them apart as kodesh,
2 That the Nasiim (Rulers) of Yisroel, heads of the Bais of their Avot, who were the Nasiim of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered;
3 And they brought their korban before Hashem, six covered carts, and twelve oxen; a cart for two of the Nasiim, and for each one an ox; and they brought them before the Mishkan.
4 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
5 Take it of them, that they may be for the service of the Ohel Mo’ed; and thou shalt give them unto the Levi’im, to every man according to his service.
6 And Moshe took the carts and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levi’im.
7 Two carts and four oxen he gave unto the Bnei Gershon, according to their service;
8 And four carts and eight oxen he gave unto the Bnei Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Itamar ben Aharon HaKohen.
9 But unto the Bnei Kehat he gave none, because the service of HaKodesh belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.
10 And the Nasiim offered for dedicating of the Mizbe’ach in the day that it was anointed, even the Nasiim (Rulers) offered their korban before the Mizbe’ach.
