Numbers 7:3

Offerings of the Leaders

1 Now it came to pass, when Moses had finished ^asetting up the tabernacle, that he ^banointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them.

2 Then ^athe leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the leaders of the tribes¹ and over those who were numbered, made an offering.

3 And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle.

4 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.”

Six covered wagons - shesh egloth tsab , six tilted wagons, the Septuagint translate ̔ ̔ , with which the Coptic agrees; but what lampenic chariots were, no person pretends to know. Covered or tilted is probably the meaning of the original. The wagons were given for the more convenient exporting of the heavier parts of the tabernacle, which could not be conveniently carried on men' s shoulders.
