¹And it came to pass on the day when Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle and had anointed it and sanctified it and all its equipment, including the altar and all its equipment, having anointed and sanctified them, ²that the leaders of Israel, the heads of their paternal house – they were the leaders of the tribes who had supervised those who were counted – made an offering, ³and they brought their oblation before the Lord: six covered wagons and twelve oxen, one wagon for two leaders, so an ox for each one, and they offered them in front of the tabernacle. ⁴Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, ⁵“Take the oblations from them, and they will be for performing the service of the tent of contact, and you will give them to the Levites, to each man according to his work.” ⁶So Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. ⁷He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon according to their work, ⁸and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari according to their work, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹But he did not give any of these to the sons of Kohath, because the work of the holy place was charged to them, that they should bear it on their shoulders. ¹⁰Then the leaders made offerings for the dedication of the altar, when it was anointed, and the leaders offered their oblation in front of the altar. ¹¹And the Lord said to Moses, “The leaders will offer their oblation each one on his own day for the dedication of the altar.” ¹²And the one to offer his oblation on the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah. ¹³And his oblation was one silver dish whose weight was one hundred and thirty shekels, one silver basin of seventy shekels according to the holy shekel, both of them being full of fine flour mixed with oil, as a meal-offering, ¹⁴one spoon weighing ten shekels of gold, filled with incense, ¹⁵one bull-calf of the oxen, one ram, one one-year-old lamb for a burnt offering, ¹⁶one goat buck for a sin-offering, ¹⁷and for the peace-sacrifice, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, and five one-year-old lambs.
