7:1¹ When Moses had completed setting up the tabernacle,² he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them. 7:2 Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their clans, made an offering. They were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who had been supervising³ the numbering. 7:3 They brought⁴ their offering before the LORD, six covered carts⁵ and twelve oxen—one cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them in front of the tabernacle.

7:4 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 7:5 “Receive these⁶ from them, that they may be⁷ used in doing the work⁸ of the tent of meeting; and you must give them to the Levites, to every man⁹ as his service required.”¹⁰

7:6 So Moses accepted the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7:7 Two carts and four oxen he gave to the Gershonites, as their service required; 7:8 and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the Merarites, as their service required, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron, the priest. 7:9 But to the Kohathites he gave none, because the service of the holy things was their responsibility,¹¹ which they carried¹² on their shoulders.

7:10 The leaders offered¹³ for¹⁴ the dedication¹⁵ of the altar when it was anointed.¹⁶ And the leaders offered their offering before the altar. 7:11 For the LORD said to Moses, “They must offer their offering, one leader for each day,¹⁷ for the dedication of the altar.”
