NUMBERS 7

Now on the day when Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle and had anointed it and sanctified it with all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils, and had anointed them and sanctified them, 2 the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, made an offering; they were the princes of the tribes, who were over those who had been numbered. 3 And they brought their gift before Yehowah: six covered wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon from each two of the princes and an ox from each one; and they presented them before the tabernacle. 4 And Yehowah said to Moses, 5 Accept these from them, so that they may be used for the service of the tent of meeting; give them to the Levites, to each one in accordance with his service. 6 So Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, in accordance with their service; 8 and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, in accordance with their service, under the oversight of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he gave none to the sons of Kohath, because theirs was the service of the sanctuary, which they carried on their shoulders.
