Chapter 7
1 On the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle , and had anointed it and sanctified it with all its furniture , and the altar with all its vessels , and had anointed and sanctified them ;
2 the princes of Israel , the heads of their fathers’ houses , gave offerings . These were the princes of the tribes . These are they who were over those who were counted ;
3 and they brought their offering before Yahweh , six covered wagons and twelve oxen ; a wagon for every two of the princes , and for each one an ox . They presented them before the tabernacle .
4 Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying,
5 " Accept these from them , that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting ; and you shall give them to the Levites , to every man according to his service ."
