6 So Moses accepted the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their service required;
8 and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their service required, under the authority of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
9 But to the Kohathites he gave none, because the service of the holy things, which they carried on their shoulders, was their responsibility.
10 The leaders offered gifts for the dedication of the altar when it was anointed. And the leaders presented their offering before the altar.
11 For the Lord said to Moses, “They must present their offering, one leader for each day, for the dedication of the altar.”
12 The one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah.
