7 2 The heads or princes of Israel offer at the setting up of the Tabernacle. 10 And at the dedication of the Altar. 19 God speaketh to Moses from the Mercy seat.
1 Now when Moses had finished the setting up of the Tabernacle, and (A)anointed it and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, and the altar with all the instruments thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them,
2 Then the princes of Israel, heads over the houses of their fathers, (they were the princes of the tribes, who were over them that were numbered) offered,
3 And brought their offering before the Lord, six covered chariots, and twelve oxen: one chariot for two princes, and for every one an ox, and they offered them before the Tabernacle.
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
5 Take these of them, that they may be to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according unto his office.
6 So Moses took the chariots and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites:
7 Two chariots and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according unto their office.
8 And four chariots and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according unto their office, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the Priest.
9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the charge of the Sanctuary belonged to them, which they did bear upon their shoulders.
10 ¶ The princes also offered in the dedication for the altar in the day that it was anointed: then the princes offered their offering before the altar.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses, One prince one day, and another prince another day, shall offer their offering, for the dedication of the altar.
