Dedication Offerings
And
Burnt Sacrifices
By
Holy Moses
Offerings Of The Leaders
Now
it came to pass, when Moses had finished setting up the Tabernacle, that he
anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its
utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them. Then the leaders of Israel,
the heads of their fathers' houses, who were the leaders of the tribes and over
those who were numbered, made an offering. And they brought their offering
before the Lord, discovered carts and twelve (12) oxen, a cart for every (2)
two of the leaders, and for each one an ox; and they presented them before the
Tabernacle.
Then
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Accept these from them, that they may be
used in doing the work of the Tabernacle Of Meeting; and you shall give them to
the Levites, to every man according to his service."
So
Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. Two (2) carts
and four (4) oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service;
and four (4) carts and eight (8) oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according
to their service, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because theirs was the service of the
holy things, which they carried on their shoulders.

God Speaks To Holy Moses
Now
when Moses went into the Tabernacle Of Meeting to speak with God, he heard the
voice of One speaking to him from above the Mercy Seat that was on the Ark Of
The Testimony, from between the two cherubim. Thus He, Yahweh, the Lord of the
Hosts, spoke to Moses, from time to time.
