A search of Numbers 7:
When Moses completely set up the tabernacle, he anointed and sanctified it along with its instruments as well as the altar and its vessels (Numbers 7:1). The tabernacle was then ready for the offering of the numbered princes of Israel for the dedication of the altar (Numbers 7:2,11). The names of the princes with the tribe they represented in parentheses were: Nahshon (Judah), Nethaneel (Issachar), Eliab (Zebulun), Elizur (Reuben), Shelumiel (Simeon), Eliasaph (Gad), Elishama (Ephraim), Gamaliel (Manasseh), Abidan (Benjamin), Ahiezer (Dan), Pagiel (Asher) and Ahira (Naphtali)--(Numbers 7:12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78).
On designated days, each of the twelve princes offered the same offering (Numbers 7:11, 12-83). The offering included: "...one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering: One spoon of ten shekels of gold, full of incense: One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering: One kid of the goats for a sin offering: And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year..." (Numbers 17:13-17).
After the offerings, "...Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him form off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him" (Numbers 7:89).
