7 When Moses completed setting up the sacred tent, he poured olive oil on it and set it apart. He also poured olive oil on the equipment for the sacred tent, the altar, and the equipment for the altar and set them apart. 2 Then the men who led the Israelites offered gifts to Yahweh. These men were in charge of their ancestral families, led the tribes, and ruled over the people whom they, Moses, and Aaron would list. 3 They took their gifts to the sacred tent, in Yahweh’s presence. They used six carts and twelve bulls. Each cart was from two leaders, and each bull was from one leader. 4 Then Yahweh told Moses, 5 “Accept their gifts. The Levites must use them as they set up and take down the sacred tent. Give them to the Levites who can best use them as they do so.” 6 So Moses accepted the carts and the bulls. Then, he gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two carts and four bulls to the descendants of Gershon since they could use them as they set up and took down the sacred tent. 8 He gave four carts and eight bulls to the descendants of Merari since they could use them as they set up and took down the sacred tent. Aaron the priest’s son Ithamar was in charge of both these groups of Levites. 9 However, he did not give any carts or bulls to the descendants of Kohath. That was because they carried the things that belonged in the sacred tent. They had to carry those things themselves instead of using carts. 10 When Moses poured olive oil on the altar and set it apart, the men who led the Israelites offered gifts before the altar. 11 Yahweh told Moses, “On each of the next twelve days one man who leads the Israelites must offer the gifts that he offers because you set the altar apart.” 12 On the first day, Nahshon son of Amminadab offered his gifts.
