On the seventh day, Elishama, son of Ammihud, leader of the tribe of Ephraim, presented his offering. 

His offering consisted of a silver platter, weighing 3¼ pounds, and a silver basin, weighing 1¾ pounds (as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel). 

These were both filled with grain offerings, of choice flour, moistened with olive oil. 

He also brought a gold container, weighing four ounces, which was filled with incense. 

He brought a young bull, a ram, and a one-year-old male lamb, for a burnt offering, and a male goat, for a sin offering. 

For a peace offering, he brought two bulls, five rams, five male goats, and five one-year-old male lambs.

Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders

​ Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders The Lord said to Moses,  “Gather before Me …seventy men, who are recognized, as elders and leaders of Israel.  Bring them to the Tabernacle, to stand there with you.  I will come down and talk to you there.  I will take some of the Spirit …that is upon you, and I will put this Spirit, upon them.  They will bear the burden, of the people, along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.  “And say to the people,  ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat.  You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried…  “Oh, for some meat!  We were better off in Egypt!”  Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.  And it won’t be for just a day …or two, or for five, or ten, or even twenty.  You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it.  For you have rejected the Lord, Who is here among you, and you have whined to Him, saying,  “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”  But Moses responded to the Lord,  “Th

1046 - Israel Celebrates Passover

Israel Celebrates Passover When everything was ready for the Passover celebration, the priests and the Levites took their places, organized by their divisions, as the king had commanded.  The Levites then slaughtered the Passover lambs …and presented the blood to the priests, who sprinkled the blood on the altar, while the Levites prepared the animals.  They divided the burnt offerings, among the people, by their family groups, so they could offer them to the Lord, as prescribed, in the Book of Moses.  They did the same with the cattle.  Then, they roasted the Passover lambs, as prescribed; and they boiled the holy offerings… in pots, kettles, and pans, …and they brought them out quickly, so the people could eat them.  Afterward, the Levites prepared Passover offerings, for themselves and for the priests—the descendants of Aaron—because the priests had been busy, from morning till night, offering the burnt offerings, and the fat portions.  The Levites took responsibility for all these
