The Wilderness Years

Take it of them, that they may be used in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.

And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.

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

and four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged unto them; they bare it upon their shoulders.

And the princes offered for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their oblation before the altar.

And Jehovah said unto Moses, They shall offer their oblation, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar.

And he that offered his oblation the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:

and his oblation was one silver platter, the weight whereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering;

one golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense;

one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb a year old, for a burnt-offering;

one male of the goats for a sin-offering;

and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs a year old: this was the oblation of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

On the second day Nethanel the son of Zuar, prince of Issachar, did offer:

he offered for his oblation one silver platter, the weight whereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering;

one golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense;

one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb a year old, for a burnt-offering;

one male of the goats for a sin-offering;

and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs a year old: this was the oblation of Nethanel the son of Zuar.

On the third day Eliab the son of Helon, prince of the children of Zebulun:

his oblation was one silver platter, the weight whereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering;

one golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense;

one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb a year old, for a burnt-offering;

one male of the goats for a sin-offering;

and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs a year old: this was the oblation of Eliab the son of Helon.
