Numeri 7
BasisBijbel
De geschenken van de leiders van het volk voor de tent van ontmoeting
7 Toen Mozes klaar was met het opbouwen van de tent van ontmoeting, zalfde hij de tent voor de Heer, samen met alle dingen die erbij hoorden. Ook zalfde hij het altaar met alles wat erbij hoorde. Zo werd alles van de Heer. 2 Daarna brachten de leiders van het volk Israël hun geschenken bij de Heer. (Zij waren de familiehoofden, de aanvoerders over de getelde mannen.) 3 Ze brachten hun geschenk bij de Heer: zes overdekte wagens met twaalf ossen. Twee leiders gaven dus samen één wagen en elke leider gaf één os. Ze brachten die bij de tent van ontmoeting. 4 De Heer zei tegen Mozes: 5 "Neem ze van hen aan en gebruik ze voor de dienst van de tent van ontmoeting. Geef ze aan de Levieten, net zoveel als iedereen voor zijn werk nodig heeft." 6 Toen nam Mozes de wagens en de ossen aan en gaf ze aan de Levieten. 7 Hij gaf twee wagens en vier ossen aan de Gersonieten, omdat ze die nodig hadden voor hun werk. 8 En vier wagens en acht ossen aan de Merarieten, omdat ze die nodig hadden voor hun werk onder leiding van Itamar, de zoon van Aäron. 9 Maar aan de Kehatieten gaf hij niets, omdat zij de heilige voorwerpen op hun schouders moesten dragen.
10 Toen het altaar was gezalfd, brachten alle leiders ook een geschenk voor het altaar. Ze brachten het naar het altaar. 11 De Heer zei tegen Mozes: "Laat elke dag één leider zijn geschenk brengen wanneer het altaar plechtig in gebruik genomen gaat worden."

7 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;
2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
3 And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
5 Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.

Offerings at the Tabernacle's Consecration
7 On the day when Moses had finished (A)setting up the tabernacle and had anointed and (B)consecrated it with all its furnishings and had anointed and consecrated the altar with all its utensils, 2 (C)the chiefs of Israel, heads of their fathers' houses, who were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were listed, approached 3 and 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. 4 Then 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.” 6 So Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 Two wagons and four oxen (D)he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service. 8 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. 9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they were charged with (F)the service of the holy things that (G)had to be carried on the shoulder. 10 And the chiefs offered offerings for the (H)dedication of the altar on the day it was anointed; and the chiefs offered their offering before the altar. 11 And the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offerings, one chief each day, for the dedication of the altar.”

Offerings of the Leaders
7 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. 2 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. 3 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.
4 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 5 “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.” 6 So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. 7 Two carts and four oxen (D)he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service; 8 (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. 9 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.”
