Offerings of Dedication

1Nowe when Moses had finished the setting vp of the Tabernacle, and anointed it & sanctified it, and all the instrumentes thereof, and the altar with al the instruments thereof, and had anoynted them and sanctified them, 2Then the princes of Israel, heads ouer the houses of their fathers (they were the princes of the tribes, who were ouer them that were nombred) offred, 3And brought their offring before the Lord, sixe couered charets, and twelue oxen: one charet for two princes, and for euery one an oxe, and they offred them before the Tabernacle. 4And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 5Take these of them, that they may be to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt giue them vnto the Leuites, to euery man according vnto his office. 6So Moses tooke the charets and the oxen, and gaue them vnto the Leuites: 7Two charets and foure oxen hee gaue to the sonnes of Gershon, according vnto their office. 8And foure charets and eight oxen hee gaue to the sonnes of Merari according vnto their office, vnder the hand of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Priest. 9But to the sonnes of Kohath he gaue none, because the charge of the Sanctuarie belonged to them, which they did beare vpon their shoulders.

10The princes also offered in the dedication for the altar in the day that it was anoynted: then the princes offered their offering before the altar. 11And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, One prince one day, and an other prince an other day shal offer their offring, for the dedication of the altar.
