Numbers 7:1-89

This chapter goes into such detail about offerings at the dedication of the Tabernacle.  6 covered carts full and 12 oxen. And it was shared among the Levites.  There were 12 days of offering - each tribe had a day.  Afterward, Moses went into the Tent of Meeting and spoke with God. Not at, not to, but with.  Implies a conversation...

Even today our offerings to the church are what to minister/pastor/priest have to live off of for them and their families.  I think we so often forget about the human aspect of our tithes and offerings to the church.  It isn't just a building with those associated costs. It doesn't all go out into the world to help others.  It stays to help the leaders of our many flocks.
