The Offerings of the Leaders

The Offerings of the Leaders

1And it came to pass on the day that Moses had made an end of setting up the tabernacle , and had anointed it and sanctified it , and all the furniture thereof , and the altar and all the vessels thereof , and had anointed them and sanctified them ; 2that the princes of Israel , the heads of their fathers’ houses , offered . These were the princes of the tribes , these are they that were over them that were numbered : 3and they brought their oblation before Jehovah , six covered wagons , and twelve oxen ; a wagon for every two of the princes , and for each one an ox : and they presented them before the tabernacle . 4And Jehovah spake unto Moses , saying, 5Take it of them , that they may be used in doing the service of the tent of meeting ; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites , to every man according to his service . 6And Moses took the wagons and the oxen , and gave them unto the Levites . 7Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon , according to their service : 8and four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari , according unto their service , under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest . 9But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none , because the service of the sanctuary belonged unto them ; they bare it upon their shoulders .
