Numbers 7:1-9
New International Version
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.

The dwelling’s dedication
7 On the day when Moses finished setting up the dwelling, he anointed and made it holy. All its equipment, as well as the altar and all its equipment, he also anointed and made holy. 2 The chiefs of Israel, the leaders of their households, made their presentations. They were the tribal chiefs and those who were in charge of the enlistment. 3 They brought their offerings before the Lord: six covered wagons and twelve oxen—a wagon for every two chiefs, and an ox for every chief. They brought them near before the dwelling.
4 The Lord said to Moses: 5 Take these from them and use them for service in the meeting tent. Give them to the Levites according to their duties.
6 So Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and he gave them to the Levites. 7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the Gershonites for their duty. 8 Four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the Merarites for their duty under the supervision of Ithamar, Aaron the priest’s son. 9 But to the Kohathites he gave nothing because their duty concerned the holy things that had to be carried on the shoulders.

Ofrendas para la consagración del santuario
7 Cuando Moisés terminó de levantar el santuario, lo consagró ungiéndolo junto con todos sus utensilios. También ungió y consagró el altar y sus utensilios. 2 Entonces los jefes de Israel, es decir, los jefes de las familias patriarcales y de las tribus, que habían presidido el censo, hicieron una ofrenda 3 y la llevaron al santuario para presentarla ante el Señor. La ofrenda consistía en una carreta por cada dos jefes y un buey por cada uno de ellos; eran, en total, seis carretas cubiertas y doce bueyes.
4 El Señor dijo a Moisés: 5 «Recibe estas ofrendas que te entregan, para que sean usadas en el ministerio de la Tienda de reunión. Tú se las entregarás a los levitas, según lo requiera el trabajo de cada uno».
6 Moisés recibió las carretas y los bueyes, y se los entregó a los levitas. 7 A los guersonitas les dio dos carretas y cuatro bueyes, como lo requería su ministerio. 8 A los meraritas les dio cuatro carretas y ocho bueyes, como lo requería su ministerio. Todos ellos estaban bajo las órdenes de Itamar, hijo del sacerdote Aarón. 9 A los coatitas no les dio nada, porque la responsabilidad de ellos era llevar las cosas sagradas sobre sus propios hombros.
