6 So Moses took the utility carts and the cattle, and he gave them to the Levites.
7 Two utility carts and four cattle he gave to the descendants of Gershon according to their required service;
8 and four utility carts and eight cattle he gave to the descendants of Merari according to their required service, under the authority of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
9 But to the descendants of Kohath he did not give anything because the work of the sanctuary they carried upon them on their shoulders.
10 The leaders presented offerings for the dedication of the altar on the day of its anointing, and the leaders presented their offerings before the altar.
11 Yahweh said to Moses, “One leader for each day will present their offering for the dedication of the altar.”
12 And it happened, the one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah.
