And the sages say twelve monuments for each tribe. He built an altar, sacrificed thereon a burnt-offering and peace-offerings, took of the blood of the burnt-offering in two receptacles, part for the L–rd, part for the congregation; he took of the blood of the peace-offerings in two receptacles, part for the L–rd, part for the congregation, as it is written (Ibid. 6) "And Moses took half the blood"—the part for the congregation—"and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar"—the part for the L–rd.
