Numbers 7:80-89

80 one golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense;

81 one young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, as a burnt offering;

82 one kid of the goats as the sin;

83 and for a sacrifice of peace, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year. This was the offering of Ahira, the son of Enan.

84 This was the dedication of the altar, the day when it was anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver, twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold,

85 each charger of silver weighing one hundred and thirty shekels, each bowl seventy; all the silver of the vessels, two thousand four hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

86 The twelve golden spoons full of incense, ten shekels apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary; all the gold of the spoons was one hundred and twenty shekels.

87 All the oxen for the burnt offering were twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their present; and the he goats for sin twelve.

88 And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace were twenty-four bullocks, the rams sixty, the he goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty. This was the dedication of the altar, after it was anointed.

89 And when Moses entered into the tabernacle of the testimony to speak with Him, then he heard the voice of the one speaking unto him from above the seat of reconciliation that was over the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and he spoke with him.
