7 Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to 1their service,
8 and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to 2their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
9 But he did not give any to the sons of Kohath because theirs was 3the service of the holy objects, which they carried on the shoulder.
10 The leaders offered the dedication offering for the altar when 4it was anointed, so the leaders offered their offering before the altar.
11 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Let them present their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar."
12 Now the one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah;
13 and his offering was one silver 5dish whose weight was one hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, 6according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering;
14 one gold pan of ten shekels, full of incense;
15 one bull * *, one ram, one male lamb one year old, for a burnt offering;
16 7one male goat for a sin offering;
17 and for the sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, five male lambs one year old. This was the offering of 8Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
