Offerings at the Dedication of the Tabernacle

When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle,(A) he anointed(B) and consecrated it and all its furnishings.(C) He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.(D) Then the leaders of Israel,(E) the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted,(F) made offerings. They brought as their gifts before the Lord six covered carts(G) and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.

The Lord said to Moses, “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man’s work requires.”

So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites,(H) as their work required, and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites,(I) as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites,(J) because they were to carry on their shoulders(K) the holy things, for which they were responsible.

10 When the altar was anointed,(L) the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication(M) and presented them before the altar. 11 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar.”

Offerings of the Leaders

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. 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. 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.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “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.” So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. Two carts and four oxen (D)he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; (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. 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.”

This was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

Jertfele conducătorilor lui Israel la sfinţirea Tabernaculului

În ziua când a terminat Moise de înălţat Tabernaculul, el l-a uns şi l-a sfinţit împreună cu toate lucrurile lui. De asemenea, a uns şi a sfinţit altarul cu toate uneltele lui. Apoi conducătorii lui Israel, căpeteniile familiilor lor, cei care erau conducătorii seminţiilor, având autoritate peste cei număraţi, au adus jertfe. Ei şi-au adus jertfele înaintea Domnului: şase care acoperite şi doisprezece boi, un car pentru câte doi conducători şi un bou pentru fiecare în parte; le-au adus înaintea Tabernaculului.

Atunci Domnul i-a zis lui Moise: „Primeşte-le de la ei şi întrebuinţează-le în slujirea de la Cortul Întâlnirii; să le dai leviţilor, fiecăruia după cum cere slujba lui.“

Moise a luat carele şi boii şi le-a dat leviţilor. Fiilor lui Gherşon le-a dat două care şi patru boi, potrivit slujbei lor; fiilor lui Merari le-a dat patru care şi opt boi, potrivit slujbei lor, sub conducerea lui Itamar, fiul preotului Aaron. Fiilor lui Chehat însă nu le-a dat nici unul, pentru că slujba lor era să aibă grijă de lucrurile sfinte care trebuiau duse pe umeri.

10 Conducătorii şi-au adus jertfele pentru consacrarea altarului în ziua când acesta a fost uns; ei şi-au adus jertfele înaintea altarului. 11 Atunci Domnul i-a zis lui Moise: „Pentru consacrarea altarului, fiecare conducător să-şi aducă darurile în câte o zi.“

12 Cel care şi-a adus jertfa în prima zi a fost Nahşon, fiul lui Aminadab, din seminţia lui Iuda; 13 a adus ca jertfă: o farfurie de argint cântărind o sută treizeci de şecheli[a] şi un vas de argint cântărind şaptezeci de şecheli[b], după şechelul Lăcaşului[c], amândouă pline cu făină aleasă, amestecată cu ulei; acestea erau pentru darul de mâncare; 14 o farfurie de aur cântărind zece şecheli[d] plină cu tămâie; 15 un taur, un berbec şi un miel de un an pentru arderea de tot; 16 un ţap ca jertfă pentru păcat, 17 iar pentru jertfa de pace[e]: doi boi, cinci berbeci, cinci ţapi şi cinci miei de un an pentru jertfa de pace. Aceasta a fost jertfa lui Nahşon, fiul lui Aminadab.

Ofrendas para la consagración del santuario

Cuando Moisés terminó de levantar el santuario, lo consagró ungiéndolo junto con todos sus utensilios. También ungió y consagró el altar y sus utensilios. Entonces los jefes de Israel, es decir, los jefes de las familias patriarcales y de las tribus, que habían presidido el censo, hicieron una ofrenda y la llevaron al santuario para presentarla ante el Señor. La ofrenda consistía en una carreta por cada dos jefes y un buey por cada uno de ellos; eran, en total, seis carretas cubiertas y doce bueyes.

El Señor dijo a Moisés: «Recibe estas ofrendas que te entregan, para que sean usadas en el ministerio de la Tienda de reunión. Tú se las entregarás a los levitas, según lo requiera el trabajo de cada uno».

Moisés recibió las carretas y los bueyes, y se los entregó a los levitas. A los guersonitas les dio dos carretas y cuatro bueyes, como lo requería su ministerio. A los meraritas les dio cuatro carretas y ocho bueyes, como lo requería su ministerio. Todos ellos estaban bajo las órdenes de Itamar, hijo del sacerdote Aarón. A los coatitas no les dio nada, porque la responsabilidad de ellos era llevar las cosas sagradas sobre sus propios hombros.
