Tribal Offerings.[a] 1 The day that Moses completed setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it and all of its furnishings, including the altar and all of its utensils. He anointed and consecrated them. 2 The leaders of Israel, the heads of the clans, and the leaders of the tribes that had been counted in the census, made their offerings. 3 They brought their offerings before the Lord: six covered wagons and twelve oxen. There was a wagon for each two leaders, and an oxen for each of them. They brought them before the tabernacle.
