Numbers 7:1-9

1On the dayH3117 MosesH4872 finishedH3615 setting upH6965 the tabernacleH4908, he anointedH4886 and consecratedH6942 itH853 and allH3605 its furnishingsH3627, along withH853 the altarH4196 andH853 allH3605 its utensilsH3627. 2And the leadersH5387 of IsraelH3478, the headsH7218 of their familiesH1H1004, presented an offeringH7126. TheseH1992 men were the tribalH4294H1992 leadersH5387 who had supervisedH5975H5921 the registrationH6485. 3They broughtH935 as their offeringH7133 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 sixH8337 coveredH6632 cartsH5699 and twelveH8147H6240 oxenH1241—an oxH7794 from eachH259 leader and a cartH5699 fromH5921 every twoH8147 leadersH5387—and presentedH7126 themH853 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH4908.

4And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 5“Accept theseH3947 gifts from themH854, that they may beH1961 usedH5647 in the workH5656 of the TentH168 of MeetingH4150. And giveH5414 themH853 toH413 the LevitesH3881, to each manH376 according toH6310 his serviceH5656.”

6So MosesH4872 tookH3947 the cartsH5699 and oxenH1241 and gaveH5414 themH853 toH413 the LevitesH3881. 7He gaveH5414 the GershonitesH1121H1648 twoH8147 cartsH5699 and fourH702 oxenH1241, as their serviceH5656 requiredH6310, 8andH853 he gaveH5414 the MeraritesH1121H4847 fourH702 cartsH5699 and eightH8083 oxenH1241, as their serviceH5656 requiredH6310, all under the directionH3027 of IthamarH385 sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548. 9But he did notH3808 giveH5414 any to the KohathitesH1121H6955, sinceH3588 they were to carryH5375 on theirH5921 shouldersH3802 the holy objectsH6944 for which they were responsibleH5656.
