These were the offerings of the Israelite leaders
for the dedication of the altar when it was anointed:
twelve silver plates,
twelve silver sprinkling bowls
and twelve gold dishes.
Each silver plate weighed a hundred and thirty shekels,
and each sprinkling bowl seventy shekels.
Altogether, the silver dishes weighed
two thousand and four hundred shekels,
according to the sanctuary shekel.
The twelve gold dishes filled with incense
weighed ten shekels each,
according to the sanctuary shekel.
Altogether, the gold dishes
weighed a hundred and twenty shekels.
The total number of animals for the burnt offering
came to twelve young bulls,
twelve rams
and twelve male lambs a year old,
together with their grain offering.
Twelve male goats were used for the sin offering.
The total number of animals
for the sacrifice of the fellowship offering came to
twenty-four oxen,
sixty rams,
sixty male goats
and sixty male lambs a year old.
These were the offering for the dedication of the alter
after it was anointed.
When Moses entered the Tent of Meeting
to speak with the Lord,
he heard the Voice speaking to him
from between the two cherubim
above the atonement cover
on the ark of the Testimony.
And he spoke with Him.
