Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of
Gershon
The eldest son of Levi:
according to their service;
which was to bear and take care of the curtains, coverings,
hangings and rails of the tabernacle; and which, when carrying
from place to place, it was proper they should be covered from
being exposed to rain and dust; and being so many as they were,
must be heavy, burdensome, and cumbersome, and therefore two
wagons, with two yoke of oxen, were given them, to ease them.
