1 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;

2That 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:

3And 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.

4And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

5Take 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.

6And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.

8And 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.

LXXXVIII == Ex 25:22 ; 33:9 , 11 ; Num 6:1 ; 12:8

 

1 Now, when Moses had completed the erection of the Dwelling and had anointed and consecrated it with all its equipment (as well as the altar with all its equipment),

2 an offering was made by the princes of Israel, who were heads of ancestral houses; the same princes of the tribes who supervised the census.

3 The offering they brought before the LORD consisted of six baggage wagons and twelve oxen, that is, a wagon for every two princes, and an ox for every prince. These they presented as their offering before the Dwelling.

4 The LORD then said to Moses,

5 "Accept their offering, that these things may be put to use in the service of the meeting tent. Assign them to the Levites, to each group in proportion to its duties."

6 So Moses accepted the wagons and oxen, and assigned them to the Levites.

7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites in proportion to their duties,

8 and four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites in proportion to their duties, under the supervision of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

9 He gave none to the Kohathites, because they had to carry on their shoulders the sacred objects which were their charge.

10 For the dedication of the altar also, the princes brought offerings before the altar on the day it was anointed.

11 But the LORD said to Moses, "Let one prince a day present his offering for the dedication of the altar."

Offerings Made by the Heads of the Tribes

v 1-9. The princes were probably instructed, v 11, to bring their offerings at the same time they brought offerings for the dedicating of the altar on the very day it was anointed. The gifts to the Levites were, a wagon for every two princes and from each one an ox. Moses distributed them, two wagons to the Gershonites for carrying the heavy curtain material, four to Merarites to carry all the heavy boards, pillars, bases, pegs etc. All those were under the supervision of Ithamar, the priest. The Kohathites received none because they carried with staves on their shoulders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 10,11. Then the Lord instructed that each prince offer his own offering, each on his own day. These were for the purpose of dedicating the altar.

 

 

v 12-83. The items are self explanatory right from the Scripture, and the items are identical for each prince. The Lord listed the gifts individually and exactly to show that He is interested in every thing detail of their lives (and ours). The tribes were different in size and location, but in recording each one’s gift on a different day, God shows that they are all equally important to Him.
