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 things from them, that they may be used in the service of the tent of meeting, and you shall give them to the Levites, to each 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 direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
