Numbers 7 · Parashat Naso

And it came to pass on the day that Moshe had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all its instruments, both the altar and all its vessels, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;

that the princes of Yisra᾽el, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:

and they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the Tent of Meeting; and thou shalt give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.

And Moshe took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.

Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service:

and four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Itamar the son of Aharon the priest.

But to the sons of Qehat he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they bore it on their shoulders.

And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, and the princes offered their offering before the altar.

And the Lord said to Moshe, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
