Bible Text
[2] that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were numbered: [3] and 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 tabernacle. [4] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [5] "Accept these from 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." [6] Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. [7] He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service: [8] and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. [9] But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.
