to the Lord in the time of his consecration, besides those things which
his hand shall find, according to that which he had vowed in his mind,
so shall he do for the fulfilling of his sanctification.

will bless them.

The offerings of the princes at the dedication of the tabernacle. God
speaketh to Moses from the propitiatory.
7:1. And it came to pass in the day that Moses had finished the
tabernacle, and set it up, and had anointed and sanctified it with all
its vessels, the altar likewise and all the vessels thereof,

tribe, who were the rulers of them who had been numbered, offered
7:3. Their gifts before the Lord, six wagons covered, and twelve oxen.
Two princes offered one wagon, and each one an ox, and they offered them

7:5. Receive them from them to serve in the ministry of the tabernacle,
and thou shalt deliver them to the Levites according to the order of
their ministry.

to the Levites.
7:7. Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gerson, according
to their necessity.

Merari, according to their offices and service, under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

serve in the sanctuary and carry their burdens upon their own shoulders.

when it was anointed, their oblation before the altar.
