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 houses, 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 12 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 3¼ pounds[a] and one silver basin weighing 1¾ pounds,[b] 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 four ounces,[c] 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 breeding goats, and five male lambs a year old, for the fellowship sacrifice.(M) This was the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab.

7 And it came to pass in the day that Moses had finished the tabernacle, and set it up, and had anointed and sanctified it with all its vessels, the altar likewise and all the vessels thereof,
2 The princes of Israel and the heads of the families, in every tribe, who were the rulers of them who had been numbered, offered
3 Their gifts before the Lord, six wagons covered, and twelve oxen. Two princes offered one wagon, and each one an ox, and they offered them before the tabernacle.
4 And the Lord said to Moses:
5 Receive them from them to serve in the ministry of the tabernacle, and thou shalt deliver them to the Levites according to the order of their ministry.
