Numbers 7:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 7:1

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.”

6 So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.

7 Two carts and four oxen ^ahe gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service;

8 ^aand four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the¹ authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because theirs was ^athe service of the holy things, ^bwhich they carried on their shoulders.

10 Now the leaders offered ^athe dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed; so the leaders offered their offering before the altar.

11 For the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.”
