各首领的奉献

摩西支好圣幕后,便用膏油抹圣幕和其中的器具、祭坛和坛上的器具,使它们圣洁。 然后,以色列各支派的首领,就是负责人口统计的各族长,都来奉献。 他们把供物带到圣幕前献给耶和华:每两位首领奉献一辆篷车,每位首领奉献一头公牛,共六辆篷车和十二头公牛。

耶和华对摩西说: “你要收下这些供物,按利未人的工作分配给他们,供会幕使用。” 于是,摩西收下车和牛,交给利未人。 他分给革顺的子孙两辆车和四头牛, 分给米拉利的子孙四辆车和八头牛。他们都在祭司亚伦的儿子以他玛的领导下任职。 摩西没有把供物分给哥辖的子孙,因为他们要用肩扛所负责的圣物。

10 膏抹祭坛时,各首领都为献坛之礼带来供物,放在祭坛前。 11 耶和华对摩西说:“每天要有一位首领为献坛之礼献上供物。”

Offerings from the Leaders

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, the leaders of Israel, the heads of their ancestral houses, presented an offering. They were the tribal leaders who supervised the registration.(B) 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.

The Lord said to Moses, “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.”

So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen corresponding to their service,(C) and gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen corresponding to their service,(D) under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 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.
