Numbers
The leaders brought wagons and oxen as offerings to help with the service of the tent of meeting. Moses distributed them to the Levites according to their work, giving none to the Kohathites because they carried holy things on the shoulder. See Numbers 7:1–9.
1It happened on the day that Moses had made an end of setting up the tent, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and all the furniture of it, and the altar and all the vessels of it, and had anointed them and sanctified them;
2that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers` houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes, these are those who were over those who were numbered:
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.
4Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
