Ofrendas para la consagración del santuario
7 Moisés ungió y santificó el santuario, incluyendo el altar y los utensilios, el mismo día en que se terminó su montaje. 2 Entonces los dirigentes de Israel —los jefes de las tribus que habían organizado el censo— presentaron sus ofrendas. 3 Trajeron seis carros cubiertos, tirados cada uno de ellos por dos bueyes —un carro por cada dos jefes y un buey por cada uno— y lo presentaron ante el Señor a la entrada del santuario.
4-5 «Acepta sus ofrendas» —le dijo el Señor a Moisés—, «y utiliza esos carros para el trabajo del santuario. Entrégaselos a los levitas para lo que los necesiten». 6 Moisés, por lo tanto, hizo entrega de los carros y los bueyes a los levitas. 7 Al clan de Guersón se le dio, para uso de ellos, dos carros y cuatro bueyes, 8 y cuatro carros y ocho bueyes fueron entregados al grupo de Merari, que estaba al mando de Itamar, hijo de Aarón. 9 Al grupo de Coat no se le dio ningún carro ni ninguna yunta, ya que se les había requerido que transportaran en hombros la parte que les correspondía del santuario.
Ofrendas para la dedicación del altar
10 Los jefes presentaron también unas ofrendas de dedicación el día en que el altar fue ungido, colocándolas sobre el altar.
11 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: «Que cada uno traiga, en días diferentes, su ofrenda para la dedicación del altar».
La ofrenda de Judá
12 Naasón, hijo de Aminadab, de la tribu de Judá, fue el primero en presentar su ofrenda. 13 Esta consistía en una bandeja de plata que pesaba más de un kilo y medio y un tazón de plata de más de ochocientos gramos, llenos los dos con ofrendas de harina y aceite. 14 También presentó una pequeña bandeja de oro llena de incienso, que pesaba unos ciento veinte gramos. 15 Trajo además, como ofrendas para ser quemadas por completo, un becerro, un carnero y un corderillo de un año. 16 También trajo un chivo para la ofrenda por el pecado, 17 y dos bueyes, cinco carneros, cinco chivos y cinco corderillos de un año para la ofrenda de paz.
La ofrenda de Isacar
18-23 Al día siguiente Natanael, hijo de Zuar, jefe de la tribu de Isacar, presentó sus dones y ofrendas. Eran estos exactamente iguales que los que había presentado Naasón el día anterior.[a]

Offerings at the Tabernacle's Consecration
7 On the day when Moses had finished (A)setting up the tabernacle and had anointed and (B)consecrated it with all its furnishings and had anointed and consecrated the altar with all its utensils, 2 (C)the chiefs of Israel, heads of their fathers' houses, who were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were listed, approached 3 and brought their offerings before the Lord, six wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for every two of the chiefs, and for each one an ox. They brought them before the tabernacle. 4 Then the Lord said to Moses, 5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the service of the tent of meeting, and give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service.” 6 So Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 Two wagons and four oxen (D)he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service. 8 And four wagons and eight oxen (E)he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they were charged with (F)the service of the holy things that (G)had to be carried on the shoulder. 10 And the chiefs offered offerings for the (H)dedication of the altar on the day it was anointed; and the chiefs offered their offering before the altar. 11 And the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offerings, one chief each day, for the dedication of the altar.”
