B'midbar (Num) 7

7
1(A: v, S: iv) On the day Moshe finished putting up the tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it, all its furnishings, and the altar with its utensils. After anointing and consecrating them, 2the leaders of Isra’el, who were heads of their father’s clans, made an offering. These were the tribal leaders in charge of those counted in the census. 3They brought their offering before Adonai, six covered wagons and twelve oxen — a wagon for every two leaders and for each an ox — and presented them in front of the tabernacle.
4Adonai said to Moshe, 5“Receive these from them; they are to be used for the service in the tent of meeting. Give them to the L’vi’im, to each as needed for his duties.” 6So Moshe took the wagons and oxen and gave them to the L’vi’im. 7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon, in keeping with the needs of their duties. 8Four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the descendants of M’rari, in keeping with the needs of their duties, directed by Itamar the son of Aharon the cohen. 9But to the descendants of K’hat he gave none, because their duties involved the holy articles, which they carried on their own shoulders.
10The leaders brought the offering for dedicating the altar on the day it was anointed. The leaders brought their offering before the altar, 11and Adonai said to Moshe, “They are to present their offerings to dedicate the altar, each leader on his own day.”
