Numbers 7:8-18

8 quattuor alia plaustra et octo boves dedit filiis Merari secundum officia et cultum suum sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis

9 filiis autem Caath non dedit plaustra et boves quia in sanctuario serviunt et onera propriis portant umeris

10 igitur obtulerunt duces in dedicationem altaris die qua unctum est oblationem suam ante altare

11 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen singuli duces per singulos dies offerant munera in dedicationem altaris

12 primo die obtulit oblationem suam Naasson filius Aminadab de tribu Iuda

13 fueruntque in ea acetabulum argenteum pondo centum triginta siclorum fiala argentea habens septuaginta siclos iuxta pondus sanctuarii utrumque plenum simila conspersa oleo in sacrificium

14 mortariolum ex decem siclis aureis plenum incenso

15 bovem et arietem et agnum anniculum in holocaustum

16 hircumque pro peccato

17 et in sacrificio pacificorum boves duos arietes quinque hircos quinque agnos anniculos quinque haec est oblatio Naasson filii Aminadab

18 secundo die obtulit Nathanahel filius Suar dux de tribu Isachar
