Offerings from the Leaders
7 On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle,(A) he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings, along with the altar and all its utensils. After he anointed and consecrated these things, 2 the leaders of Israel, the heads of their ancestral families,[a] presented an offering. They were the tribal leaders who supervised the registration.(B) 3 They brought as their offering before the Lord six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart from every two leaders and an ox from each one, and presented them in front of the tabernacle.
4 The Lord said to Moses, 5 ‘Accept these from them to be used in the work of the tent of meeting, and give this offering to the Levites, to each division according to their service.’
6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen corresponding to their service,(C) 8 and gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen corresponding to their service,(D) under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since their responsibility was service related to the holy objects(E) carried on their shoulders.(F)
10 The leaders also presented the dedication gift for the altar when it was anointed.(G) The leaders presented their offerings in front of the altar. 11 The Lord told Moses, ‘Each day have one leader present his offering for the dedication of the altar.’(H)
12 The one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab(I) from the tribe of Judah. 13 His offering was one silver dish weighing 1.5 kilograms[b] and one silver basin weighing 800 grams,[c] measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering;(J) 14 one gold bowl weighing 115 grams,[d] full of incense; 15 one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;(K) 16 one male goat for a sin offering;(L) 17 and two bulls, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs a year old, for the fellowship sacrifice.(M) This was the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab.

Revised Geneva Translation
7 Now when Moses had finished setting up the Tabernacle, and anointed it and sanctified it and all its instruments, and the Altar with all its instruments, and had anointed them, and sanctified them,
2 then the Princes of Israel, heads over the Houses of their fathers (they were the Princes of the tribes, who were over those who were numbered), offered
3 and brought an offering before the LORD of six covered chariots and twelve oxen (one chariot for every two Princes, and for every Prince an ox). and they offered them before the Tabernacle.
4 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5 “Take them, that they may be to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his office.”
6 So Moses took the chariots and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7 He gave two chariots and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their office.
8 And he gave four chariots and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their office, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the Priest.
9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they had charge of the Sanctuary, which they bore upon their shoulders.
10 The Princes also offered in the dedication for the Altar on the day that it was anointed. Then the Princes offered their offering before the Altar.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “One Prince one day, and another Prince another day, shall offer their offering for the dedication of the Altar.”

15 a young bullock, a ram, a lamb of a year old for a Burnt Offering,
