The Wilderness Years

`Receive from them, and they have been to do the service of the tent of meeting, and thou hast given them unto the Levites, each according to his service.'

And Moses taketh the waggons and the oxen, and giveth them unto the Levites.

The two of the waggons and the four of the oxen he hath given to the sons of Gershon, according to their service,

and the four of the waggons and the eight of the oxen he hath given to the sons of Merari, according to their service, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest;

and to the sons of Kohath he hath not given, for the service of the sanctuary is on them: on the shoulder they bear.

And the princes bring near the dedication of the altar in the day of its being anointed; yea, the princes bring near their offering before the altar.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `One prince a day--one prince a day--do they bring near their offering for the dedication of the altar.'

And he who is bringing near on the first day his offering is Nahshon son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.

And his offering is one silver dish, its weight a hundred and thirty shekels ; one silver bowl of seventy shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of flour mixed with oil, for a present;

one golden spoon of ten shekels , full of perfume;

one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, one lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering;

one kid of the goats for a sin-offering;

and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five lambs, sons of a year; this is the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab.

On the second day hath Nethaneel son of Zuar, prince of Issachar, brought near.

He hath brought near his offering, one silver dish, its weight a hundred and thirty shekels ; one silver bowl of seventy shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of flour mixed with oil, for a present;

one golden spoon of ten shekels , full of perfume;

one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, one lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering;

one kid of the goats for a sin-offering;

and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five lambs, sons of a year; this is the offering of Nethaneel son of Zuar.

On the third day, the prince of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon; --
