Offerings at the Dedication of the Tabernacle
1
When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it
and consecrated it and all its furnishings. He also anointed
and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.
2
Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of families who were
the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted, made offerings.
3
They brought as their gifts before the LORD six covered carts and
twelve oxen - an ox from each leader and a cart from every two.
These they presentd before the tabernacle.
4
The 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."
6
So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7
He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required,
8
and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required.
They were all under the direction of Ithama son of Aaron, the priest.

on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible.
