Numbers 7
New King James Version
Offerings of the Leaders
7 Now it came to pass, when Moses had finished (A)setting up the tabernacle, that he (B)anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them. 2 Then (C)the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the leaders of the tribes [a]and over those who were numbered, made an offering. 3 And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle.
4 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.” 6 So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. 7 Two carts and four oxen (D)he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; 8 (E)and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the [b]authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because theirs was (F)the service of the holy things, (G)which they carried on their shoulders.
10 Now the leaders offered (H)the dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed; so the leaders offered their offering before the altar. 11 For the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.”
12 And the one who offered his offering on the first day was (I)Nahshon the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah. 13 His offering was one silver platter, the weight of which was one hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to (J)the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil as a (K)grain offering; 14 one gold pan of ten shekels, full of (L)incense; 15 (M)one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb (N)in its first year, as a burnt offering; 16 one kid of the goats as a (O)sin offering; 17 and for (P)the sacrifice of peace offerings: two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs in their first year. This was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
18 On the second day Nethanel the son of Zuar, leader of Issachar, presented an offering. 19 For his offering he offered one silver platter, the weight of which was one hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering; 20 one gold pan of ten shekels, full of incense; 21 one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb in its first year, as a burnt offering; 22 one kid of the goats as a sin offering; 23 and as the sacrifice of peace offerings: two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs in their first year.

Offerte dei capi delle tribù per la dedicazione del tabernacolo
7 (A)Il giorno in cui Mosè ebbe finito di erigere il tabernacolo, lo unse e lo consacrò con tutti i suoi arredi; poi, eretto l’altare, lo unse e lo consacrò con tutti i suoi utensili. 2 Allora i capi d’Israele, i primi delle case dei loro padri, che erano i capi delle tribù e che avevano presieduto al censimento, presentarono un’offerta 3 e la portarono davanti al Signore: sei carri coperti e dodici buoi; vale a dire un carro ogni due capi e un bue per ogni capo; e li offrirono davanti al tabernacolo.
4 Il Signore disse a Mosè: 5 «Prendi da loro queste offerte per impiegarle al servizio della tenda di convegno e dalle ai Leviti; a ciascuno secondo il suo incarico». 6 Mosè prese dunque i carri e i buoi e li diede ai Leviti. 7 Diede due carri e quattro buoi ai figli di Gherson, secondo i loro incarichi; 8 diede quattro carri e otto buoi ai figli di Merari, secondo i loro incarichi, sotto la sorveglianza d’Itamar, figlio del sacerdote Aaronne; 9 ma ai figli di Cheat non diede nulla, perché avevano l’incarico degli oggetti sacri e dovevano portarli sulle spalle.
10 (B)I capi presentarono la loro offerta per la dedicazione dell’altare, il giorno in cui esso fu unto; la presentarono davanti all’altare. 11 Il Signore disse a Mosè: «I capi presenteranno la loro offerta uno per giorno, per la dedicazione dell’altare».
