Dual Panel1When Moses finished setting up The Dwelling, he anointed it and consecrated it along with all that went with it. At the same time he anointed and consecrated the Altar and its accessories.
2The leaders of Israel, the heads of the ancestral tribes who had carried out the census, brought offerings.
3They presented before GOD six covered wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon from each pair of leaders and an ox from each leader.
4GOD spoke to Moses:
5''Receive these so that they can be used to transport the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites according to what they need for their work."
6Moses took the wagons and oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites for their work
8and four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites for their work. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
9Moses didn't give any to the Kohathites because they had to carry the holy things for which they were responsible on their shoulders.
