(A:5, S:4) 1 On the day that Moses [Drawn out] had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its furniture, and the altar with all its utensils, and had anointed and sanctified them; 2 the princes of Israel [God prevails], the heads of their fathers’ houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were counted: 3 and they brought their offering before Adonai , six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle. 4 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, 5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites [Descendants of United with], to every man according to his service.”
