82 and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.

83 And for a sacrifice of peace-offering, two heifers, five rams, five he-goats, five ewe-lambs of a year old: this the gift of Achire the son of Aenan.

84 This was the dedication of the altar in the day in which anointed it, by the princes of the sons of Israel; twelve silver chargers, twelve silver bowls, twelve golden censers:

85 each charger of a hundred and thirty shekels, and each bowl of seventy shekels: all the silver of the vessels two thousand four hundred shekels, the shekels according to the holy shekel.

86 Twelve golden censers full of incense: all the gold of the shekels, a hundred and twenty shekels.

87 All the cattle for whole-burnt-offerings, twelve calves, twelve rams, twelve he-lambs of a year old, and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings: and twelve kids of the goats for sin-offering.

88 All the cattle for a sacrifice of peace-offering, twenty-four heifers, sixty rams, sixty he-goats of a year old, sixty ewe-lambs of a year old without blemish: this is the dedication of the altar, after that consecrated , and after he anointed him.

89 When Moses went into the tabernacle of witness to speak to God, then he heard the voice of the Lord speaking to him from off the mercy-seat, which is upon the ark of the testimony, between the two cherubs; and he spoke to him.
