Offerings at the Tabernacle's Consecration

7 On the day when Moses had finished ^(G)setting up the tabernacle and had anointed and ^(H)consecrated it with all its furnishings and had anointed and consecrated the altar with all its utensils, ²^(I)the chiefs of Israel, heads of their fathers' houses, who were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were listed, approached ³and 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. ⁴Then 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.”
