1 On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it, together with all its furnishings, the altar, and all its utensils. He anointed them and consecrated them. 2 The leaders of Israel, the heads of their ancestral households, presented offerings. They were the leaders of the tribes, the men who oversaw those registered. 3 They brought their offering before the LORD: six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two leaders and an ox for each one. They presented them before the tabernacle. 4 The LORD spoke to Moses and said, 5 “Receive these from them for performing the service of the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites, each according to his service.” 6 Moses received the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon, according to their service. 8 He gave four carts and eight oxen to the descendants of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he gave none to the descendants of Kohath, because the service of the holy things was their charge; they were to carry them on their shoulders. 10 The leaders presented the dedication offering for the altar on the day it was anointed. The leaders presented their offering before the altar. 11 The LORD said to Moses, “They shall present their offering for the dedication of the altar, one leader each day, one leader each day.”
