Numbers 7:2-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ households, made an offering (they were the leaders of the tribes; they were the supervisors over the numbered men). 3When they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders and an ox for each one, then they presented them in front of the tabernacle. 4Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 5Accept these things from them, that they may be used in the service of the tent of meeting, and you shall give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service.' 6So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service, 8and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9But he did not give any to the sons of Kohath, because theirs was the service of the holy objects, which they carried on the shoulder.
10And the leaders offered the dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed, so the leaders offered their offering before the altar.
11Then the Lord said to Moses, 'They shall present their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.'
12Now the one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah;
13and his offering was one silver dish whose weight was 130 shekels, and one silver bowl of seventy shekels in sanctuary shekels, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering;
14one gold pan of ten shekels, full of incense;

Chapter 7
2That 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: 3And 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. 4And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, 5Take 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.
6And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
7Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
8And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
9But 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.
10And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
11And the Lord said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
12And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:
13And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
14One spoon of ten shekels of gold, full of incense:

Chapter 7
2the leaders of Israel, the heads of their ancestral families, presented an offering. They were the tribal leaders who supervised the registration. 3They brought as their offering before the Lord six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart from every two leaders and an ox from each one, and presented them in front of the tabernacle.
4The Lord said to Moses,
5"Accept these from them to be used in the work of the tent of meeting, and give this offering to the Levites, to each division according to their service."
6So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen corresponding to their service,
8and gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen corresponding to their service, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
9But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since their responsibility was service related to the holy objects carried on their shoulders.
10The leaders also presented the dedication gift for the altar when it was anointed. The leaders presented their offerings in front of the altar.
11The Lord told Moses, "Each day have one leader present his offering for the dedication of the altar."
12The one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah.
13His offering was one silver dish weighing 3¼ pounds and one silver basin weighing 1¾ pounds, measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering;
14one gold bowl weighing four ounces, full of incense;

Chapter 7
2Then the leaders of Israel — the tribal leaders who had registered the troops — came and brought their offerings. 3Together they brought six large wagons and twelve oxen. There was a wagon for every two leaders and an ox for each leader. They presented these to the Lord in front of the Tabernacle.
4Then the Lord said to Moses,
5Receive their gifts, and use these oxen and wagons for transporting the Tabernacle. Distribute them among the Levites according to the work they have to do.'
6So Moses took the wagons and oxen and presented them to the Levites.
7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonite division for their work,
8and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarite division for their work. All their work was done under the leadership of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
9But he gave none of the wagons or oxen to the Kohathite division, since they were required to carry the sacred objects of the Tabernacle on their shoulders.
10The leaders also presented dedication gifts for the altar at the time it was anointed. They each placed their gifts before the altar.
11The Lord said to Moses, 'Let one leader bring his gift each day for the dedication of the altar.'
13His offering consisted of a silver platter weighing 3 1/4 pounds and a silver basin weighing 1 3/4 pounds (as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel). These were both filled with grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil.
14He also brought a gold container weighing four ounces, which was filled with incense.

2the chiefs of Israel, heads of their fathers ' houses, who were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were listed, approached 3and brought their offerings before the Lord, six wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for every two of the chiefs, and for each one an ox. They brought them before the tabernacle. 4Then the Lord said to Moses, 5"Accept these from them, that they may be used in the service of the tent of meeting, and give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service." 6So Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service. 8And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 9But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they were charged with the service of the holy things that had to be carried on the shoulder. 10And the chiefs offered offerings for the dedication of the altar on the day it was anointed; and the chiefs offered their offering before the altar. 11And the Lord said to Moses, "They shall offer their offerings, one chief each day, for the dedication of the altar."
12He who offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.

These they presented before the tabernacle.
4The Lord said to Moses,
5"Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man’s work requires."
6So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required,
8and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.

Chapter 7
2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the leaders of the tribes and over those who were numbered, made an offering. 3And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle.
4Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
5“Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.”
6So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.
7Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service;
8and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
9But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because theirs was the service of the holy things, which they carried on their shoulders.
10Now the leaders offered the dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed; so the leaders offered their offering before the altar.
11For the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.”
12And the one who offered his offering on the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah.
13His offering was one silver platter, the weight of which was one hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering;
