Offerings of the Leaders

7 Now it happened on ^(A)the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, that he ^(B)anointed it and set it apart as holy with all its furnishings and the altar and all its utensils; he anointed them and set them apart as holy. ² Then ^(C)the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ households, ^(D)brought an offering near (they were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who ^[a]were over the ^[b]numbered men). ³ And they brought their offering before Yahweh, six ^(E)covered carts and twelve oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders and an ox for each one, and they brought them near before the tabernacle.
