1When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings. He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted, made offerings.3They brought as their gifts before the Lord six covered carts and twelve oxen – an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.4The Lord said to Moses,5‘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.’6So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.7He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required,8and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.9But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible.10When the altar was anointed, the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication and presented them before the altar.11For the Lord had said to Moses, ‘Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar.’12The one who brought his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah.13His offering was: one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels[1] and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels,[2] both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with the finest flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering;14one gold dish weighing ten shekels,[3] filled with incense;15one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old for a burnt offering;16one male goat for a sin offering[4];17and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering.

They brought them before the tabernacle.4Then 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.”6So Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.7Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service.
