The Leaders Make Offerings
7 On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle and appointed and consecrated it and all its vessels, and the altar and its vessels, and he appointed them and consecrated them, 2 the leaders of Israel, the heads of the families,[a] presented an offering; they were the leaders of the tribes and were the ones in charge of the counting. 3 They brought their offering before the presence of[b] Yahweh, six covered utility carts and twelve cattle, a utility cart for two of the leaders, and a bull for each; and they presented them before[c] the tabernacle. 4 Yahweh said to Moses, saying, 5 “Take them,[d] and they will be used to do the work of the tent of the assembly; and you will give them to the Levites, each according to his required service.”[e] 6 So Moses took the utility carts and the cattle, and he gave them to the Levites. 7 Two utility carts and four cattle he gave to the descendants[f] of Gershon according to their required service;[g] 8 and four utility carts and eight cattle he gave to the descendants[h] of Merari according to their required service,[i] under the authority of[j] Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But to the descendants[k] of Kohath he did not give anything because the work of the sanctuary they carried upon them on their shoulders.[l]
10 The leaders presented offerings for the dedication of the altar on the day of its anointing, and the leaders presented their offerings before[m] the altar. 11 Yahweh said to Moses, “One leader for each day[n] will present their offering for the dedication of the altar.”

Numbers 7
New Living Translation
Offerings of Dedication
7 On the day Moses set up the Tabernacle, he anointed it and set it apart as holy. He also anointed and set apart all its furnishings and the altar with its utensils. 2 Then the leaders of Israel—the tribal leaders who had registered the troops—came and brought their offerings. 3 Together they brought six large wagons and twelve oxen. There was a wagon for every two leaders and an ox for each leader. They presented these to the Lord in front of the Tabernacle.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, 5 “Receive their gifts, and use these oxen and wagons for transporting the Tabernacle.[a] Distribute them among the Levites according to the work they have to do.” 6 So Moses took the wagons and oxen and presented them to the Levites. 7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonite division for their work, 8 and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarite division for their work. All their work was done under the leadership of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he gave none of the wagons or oxen to the Kohathite division, since they were required to carry the sacred objects of the Tabernacle on their shoulders.
10 The leaders also presented dedication gifts for the altar at the time it was anointed. They each placed their gifts before the altar. 11 The Lord said to Moses, “Let one leader bring his gift each day for the dedication of the altar.”
12 On the first day Nahshon son of Amminadab, leader of the tribe of Judah, presented his offering.
