1 When Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it with all its utensils, and the altar with all its utensils; he anointed them and consecrated them.
2 On that day the chiefs of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, came forward with offerings. They were the chiefs of the tribes, the men in charge of those who had been registered.
3 They brought as their offering before the LORD six covered carts and twelve oxen—a cart for every two chiefs and an ox for each one—and presented them in front of the tabernacle.
4 The LORD said to Moses,
5 "Receive these from them so they may be used for the work of the tent of meeting, and hand them over to the Levites, to each according to what his work requires."
6 So Moses received the carts and the oxen and handed them over to the Levites.
7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon, as their work required,
8 and four carts and eight oxen to the descendants of Merari, as their work required, under the supervision of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
9 To the descendants of Kohath he gave none, since their task was the holy things, which they carried on their shoulders.
10 The chiefs also presented the dedication gift for the altar on the day it was anointed; the chiefs brought their offering before the altar.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, "Let them present their offering for the dedication of the altar one chief a day, one chief each day."
