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.”

Las ofrendas de los jefes

Y sucedió que el día en que Moisés terminó de levantar el tabernáculo(A), lo ungió(B) y lo consagró con todos sus muebles; también ungió y consagró el altar y todos sus utensilios. Entonces los jefes de Israel, las cabezas de sus casas paternas(C), presentaron una ofrenda(D) (ellos eran los jefes de las tribus, los que estaban sobre los enumerados[a]). Y ellos trajeron su ofrenda delante del Señor: seis carretas cubiertas y doce bueyes(E), una carreta por cada dos jefes y un buey por cada uno. Los presentaron ante el tabernáculo. Entonces habló el Señor a Moisés, diciendo: Acepta de ellos estas cosas, para que sean usadas[b] en el servicio de la tienda de reunión, y las darás a los levitas, a cada uno conforme a su ministerio. Entonces Moisés tomó las carretas y los bueyes, y se los dio a los levitas. Dos carretas y cuatro bueyes dio a los hijos de Gersón, conforme a su ministerio(F), y cuatro carretas y ocho bueyes dio a los hijos de Merari, conforme a su ministerio(G), bajo la dirección[c] de Itamar, hijo del sacerdote Aarón. Pero a los hijos de Coat no les dio nada, porque su ministerio consistía en llevar(H) sobre sus hombros los objetos sagrados. 10 Y los jefes presentaron la ofrenda de dedicación del altar el día que fue ungido(I); los jefes presentaron su ofrenda ante el altar. 11 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: Que presenten su ofrenda, un jefe cada día, para la dedicación del 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.”

12 And the one who offered his offering on the first day was (I)Nahshon the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah. 13 His offering was one silver platter, the weight of which was one hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to (J)the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil as a (K)grain offering; 14 one gold pan of ten shekels, full of (L)incense; 15 (M)one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb (N)in its first year, as a burnt offering; 16 one kid of the goats as a (O)sin offering; 17 and for (P)the sacrifice of peace offerings: two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs in their first year. This was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

18 On the second day Nethanel the son of Zuar, leader of Issachar, presented an offering. 19 For his offering he offered one silver platter, the weight of which was one hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering; 20 one gold pan of ten shekels, full of incense; 21 one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb in its first year, as a burnt offering; 22 one kid of the goats as a sin offering; 23 and as the sacrifice of peace offerings: two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs in their first year.

Offerings at the Tabernacle's Consecration

And four wagons and eight oxen (E)he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
