3and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tent.
5Take it of them, that they may be [used] in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.
6Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.
7Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
8and four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
9But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they bore it on their shoulders.
