CHAPTER 7

Animal sacrifices when dedicating the altar
7:1-89

1And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;

2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:

3 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

On the day Moses set up the tabernacle, the princes of Israel brought their offerings to God, which included six covered wagons and twelve oxen.[1]

4 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

5 Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.

God said to Moses,

Take the sacrifices and give them to the Levites.

6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.

So Moses gave the sacrifices to the Levites.

7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:

9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.

10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.

But the sons of Kohath got none, because they served in the sanctuary.

11 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

God said to Moses,

Each prince shall offer his offering on his day. [1]
