1 When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings. He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils. |
2 Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted, made offerings. |
3 They 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. |
4 The 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." |
6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. |
7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required, |
8 and 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. |
9 But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible. |
