Chapter 7
Offerings for the special tent
1When Moses had put up God's Tent, he poured special oil on it. He also poured it on the things in the tent, the altar and all the tools. This showed that all these things were special for God to use. 2Then the 12 leaders of Israel's tribes came to God's Tent. They brought gifts. These men were the leaders who had helped to count the people. 3They brought their gifts to the Lord. They brought six carts, one cart for every two leaders. They brought 12 oxen. That was one ox for each leader. They brought it all to God's Tent.
4The Lord said to Moses, 5‘Accept these gifts from the leaders. Give them to the Levites. All the Levites can use them for their work at the Tent of Meeting.’
6So Moses took the carts and the oxen and he gave them to the Levites. 7He gave two carts and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon. 8He gave four carts and eight oxen to the descendants of Merari for their work. Ithamar was the son of Aaron. He had to tell the descendants of Merari the work that they should do. 9But the descendants of Kohath had to carry everything that was special on their shoulders. So Moses did not give any carts or oxen to the descendants of Kohath.
10When Moses poured special oil on the altar, the leaders also brought gifts. They offered their gifts to God in front of the altar. 11The Lord said to Moses: ‘One leader must bring a gift to the altar every day. That is how they will make the altar special for me.’ 12On the first day, Nahshon, the son of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah brought his gift. 13He brought a plate and a bowl that someone had made from silver.

They were for a grain offering. 14He brought one small dish that someone had made from gold. It weighed ten shekels and it was full of incense. 15He brought one young bull, one male sheep and one male lamb that was less than one year old. Those animals were for a burnt offering. 16He brought one male goat for a sin offering. 17He also brought two oxen, five male sheep, five male goats, and five male lambs that were less than one year old.
