7 ‎(1) On the day that Moses finished setting up the Tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings, as well as the altar and its utensils. When he had anointed and consecrated them, ‎(2) the chieftains of Israel, the heads of ancestral houses, namely, the chieftains of the tribes, those who were in charge of enrollment, drew near ‎(3) and brought their offering before the LORD: six draught carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two chieftains and an ox for each one. When they had brought them before the Tabernacle, ‎(4) the LORD said to Moses: ‎(5) Accept these from them for use in the service of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the Levites according to their respective services. ‎(6) Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. ‎(7) Two carts and four oxen he gave to the Gershonites, as required for their service, ‎(8) and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the Merarites, as required for their service—under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. ‎(9) But to the Kohathites he did not give any; since theirs was the service of the [most] sacred objects, their porterage was by shoulder. ‎(10) The chieftains also brought the dedication offering for the altar upon its being anointed. As the chieftains were presenting their offerings before the altar, ‎(11) the LORD said to Moses: Let them present their offerings for the dedication of the altar, one chieftain each day. ‎(12) The one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah. ‎(13) His offering: one silver bowl weighing 130 shekels and one silver basin of 70 shekels by the sanctuary weight, both filled with choice flour with oil mixed in, for a meal offering; ‎(14) one gold ladle of 10 shekels, filled with incense; ‎(15) one bull of the herd, one ram, and one lamb in its first year, for a burnt offering; ‎(16) one goat for a sin offering; ‎(17) and for his sacrifice of well-being: two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, and five yearling lambs. That was the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab. ‎(18) On the second day, Nethanel son of Zuar, chieftain of Issachar, made his offering. ‎(19) He presented as his offering: one silver bowl weighing 130 shekels and one silver basin of 70 shekels by the sanctuary weight, both filled with choice flour with oil mixed in, for a meal offering; ‎(20) one gold ladle of 10 shekels, filled with incense; ‎(21) one bull of the herd, one ram, and one lamb in its first year, for a burnt offering; ‎(22) one goat for a sin offering; ‎(23) and for his sacrifice of well-being: two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, and five yearling lambs.
