5. “Accept these from them to use in the service of the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites to use as each man’s work requires.”
6. So Moses took the carts and the oxen and he gave them to the Levites.
7. He gave two carts and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, as their work required,
8. and four carts and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, as their work required, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the kohen.
9. But to the sons of Kohath he did not give any because their responsibility was carrying the holy items on their shoulders.
10. When the altar was anointed, the princes brought their dedication offerings and presented them before the altar.
