1On the day when Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and set it apart as holy, with all its furnishings. He also anointed the altar and all its vessels and set them apart as holy.
2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their families, brought offerings. These were the leaders of the tribes, the men who were in charge of those who had been counted.
3They brought their offering before the LORD: six covered wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon from every two of the leaders, and an ox from each one. They brought them in front of the tabernacle.
4The LORD said to Moses,
5"Take these from them, so that they may be used for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. Give them to the Levites, to each man according to his work."

8He gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, for the work they had to do, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
