The Tabernacle Consecrated

Chapter 7.

On the day that Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings, along with the altar and all its utensils; he anointed and consecrated them.

Twelve Leaders, Twelve Days

Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, made an offering — they were the leaders of the tribes, the ones who had been in charge of those who were counted. They brought their offering before our Father: six covered wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for every two of the leaders and an ox for each one; and they presented them in front of the tabernacle.

And our Father said to Moses,

"Accept these from them, and let them be used for the service of the tent of meeting; give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service."

So Moses 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 direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the holy things belonged to them — they carried it on their shoulders.

Now the leaders presented the dedication offering for the altar on the day it was anointed; the leaders brought their offering before the altar.

And our Father said to Moses, "Each day one leader is to present his offering for the dedication of the altar."

The one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.

Now when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with our Father, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and so our Father spoke with him. ¹
