Bible Verses About The Tribe Of Dan

On the tenth day Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, prince of the children of Dan:

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 Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
