And Moses took the wagons and the oxen Of the princes, as he was directed:
and gave them unto the Levites; the Gershonites and Merarites; for, as for the Kohathites, they had no part of them, for a reason after given, ( Numbers 7:9 ) .
5
"Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service."
6
So Moses took the carts and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.
7
Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service;
8
and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
