Context of Numbers 7:10

8and four carts and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, as their work required, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the kohen. 9But to the sons of Kohath he did not give any because their responsibility was carrying the holy items on their shoulders. When the altar was anointed, the princes brought their dedication offerings and presented them before the altar. 11For Adonai had said to Moses, “Each day one of the princes is to bring his offering for the altar’s dedication.” 12Bringing his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah.
