5. “Accept these from them to use in the service of the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites to use as each man’s work requires.”
6. So Moses took the carts and the oxen and he gave them to the Levites.
7. He gave two carts and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, as their work required,

10. When the altar was anointed, the princes brought their dedication offerings and presented them before the altar.
11. For Adonai had said to Moses, “Each day one of the princes is to bring his offering for the altar’s dedication.”
12. Bringing his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah.
13. His offering was one silver plate weighing 130 shekels, one silver basin weighing 70 shekels by the shekel of the Sanctuary, both of them filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering,
