Numbers 7

And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;

That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:

And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

With hearts full of devotion, they presented their gifts to the LORD - six covered wagons and twelve strong oxen. Each pair of leaders shared a wagon, and each had an ox to offer. They humbly placed these offerings before the sacred tabernacle.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

With a deep, compassionate voice, the LORD shared His words with Moses, expressing,

Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.

Collect from them what is needed for the work of the meeting tent. Then, distribute these to the Levites, each according to his specific duties.
