The Dedication of the Altar

Name Date

Read the Story

Numbers 7 tells what happened when Moses set up the tabernacle. The princes of Israel brought six wagons and twelve oxen. Moses gave them to the Gershonites and Merarites. The Kohathites got none, because they carried the holy things on their shoulders.

Then God said each prince should offer on his own day. Nahshon of Judah came first. Each prince brought a silver plate and a silver bowl of flour and oil. He brought a gold spoon of incense and many animals.

Every gift was the same, and every one is written out in full. God valued each tribe's gift. Then Moses went into the Tent of Meeting. He heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim.
