Numbers 7

1And it came to pass in the day that Moyses finished the tabernacle and erected it, he anointed also and sanctified it with all the vessels thereof, the altar likewise and all the vessels thereof.

2The Princes of Israel and the heads of the families, that were in every tribe, and the Rulers of them, that had been numbered, offered

3gifts before our Lord, six wains covered, with twelve oxen, Two Princes offered one wain, and every man one oxe, and they offered them before the tabernacle.

4And our Lord said to Moyses:

5Take them of their hands to serve in the ministry of the tabernacle, and thou shalt deliver them to the Levites according to the order of their ministry.

6When Moyses therefore had taken the wains and the oxen, he delivered them to the Levites.

7Two wains & four oxen he gave to the sons of Gerson, according to that which was necessary for them.

8The other four wains, and the eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari according to their offices and service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the Priest.

9But to the sons of Caath he gave not wains and oxen: because they serve in the sanctuary, and carry their burdens upon their own shoulders.

10The Princes therefore offered unto the dedication of the altar, the day wherein it was anointed, their oblation before the altar.

11And our Lord said to Moyses: Let the Princes one and one every day offer their gifts unto the dedication of the altar.
