Dual PanelThe Offerings of the Leaders
1On the day Moses finished setting up the Tent of the LORD's presence, he anointed and dedicated the Tent and all its equipment, and the altar and all its equipment.
2Then the clan chiefs who were leaders in the tribes of Israel, the same men who were in charge of the census,
3brought their offerings to the LORD: six wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for every two leaders and an ox for each leader. After they had presented them,
4the LORD said to Moses,
5“Accept these gifts for use in the work to be done for the Tent; give them to the Levites according to the work they have to do.”
6So Moses gave the wagons and the oxen to the Levites.
7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites,
8and four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites. All their work was to be done under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron.
9But Moses gave no wagons or oxen to the Kohathites, because the sacred objects they took care of had to be carried on their shoulders.
10The leaders also brought offerings to celebrate the dedication of the altar. When they were ready to present their gifts at the altar,
11the LORD said to Moses, “Tell them that each day for a period of twelve days one of the leaders is to present his gifts for the dedication of the altar.”
12They presented their offerings in the following order: Day ~~ Tribe ~~ Leader; 1st ~~ Judah ~~ Nahshon son of Amminadab; 2nd ~~ Issachar ~~ Nethanel son of Zuar; 3rd ~~ Zebulun ~~ Eliab son of Helon; 4th ~~ Reuben ~~ Elizur son of Shedeur; 5th ~~ Simeon ~~ Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai; 6th ~~ Gad ~~ Eliasaph son of Deuel; 7th ~~ Ephraim ~~ Elishama son of Ammihud; 8th ~~ Manasseh ~~ Gamaliel son of Pedahzur; 9th ~~ Benjamin ~~ Abidan son of Gideoni; 10th ~~ Dan ~~ Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai; 11th ~~ Asher ~~ Pagiel son of Ochran; 12th ~~ Naphtali ~~ Ahira son of Enan The offerings each one brought were identical: one silver bowl weighing 50 ounces and one silver basin weighing 30 ounces, by the official standard, both of them full of flour mixed with oil for the grain offering; one gold dish weighing 4 ounces, full of incense; one young bull, one ram, and a one-year-old lamb, for the burnt offering; one goat for the sin offering; and two bulls, five rams, five goats, and five one-year-old lambs, for the fellowship offering.
