Offerings of Dedication
On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings, along with the altar and all its utensils. Lev 8:10-11Num 7:84Mat 23:191Ki 8:64Exo 13:2Exo 30:23-30Exo 40:17-19Exo 40:9-10 And the leaders of Israel, the heads of their families, presented an offering. These men were the tribal leaders who had supervised the registration. Num 1:4-161Ch 29:6-82Ch 35:8Exo 35:27Ezr 2:68-69Neh 7:70-72Num 10:1-36Num 2:1-34 They brought as their offering before the LORD six covered carts and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two leaders—and presented them before the tabernacle.
And the LORD said to Moses, “Accept these gifts from them, that they may be used in the work of the Tent of Meeting. And give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service.” Eph 4:11-13Exo 25:1-11Exo 35:4-10Isa 42:1-7Isa 49:1-8Tit 3:8Psa 16:2-3
So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen, as their service required, Num 3:25-26Num 4:24-28 and he gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen, as their service required, all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. Num 3:36-37Num 4:28-33 But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since they were to carry on their shoulders the holy objects for which they were responsible. 1Ch 15:132Sa 6:13Num 3:31Num 4:4-161Ch 15:31Ch 23:262Sa 6:6
