Context of Numbers 7:5

3They 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. 4The Lord said to Moses, “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting.
