Numbers 7:4-9 - The Distribution Of The Gifts
4 Jehovah said to Moses: 5 Accept these gifts from them to use in the work done for the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites to use where they need them for their work.
6 Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites for the work they had to do. 8 He gave four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites for the work they had to do under the direction of Ithamar, son of the priest Aaron. 9 However Moses gave none of these gifts to the Kohathites, because they took care of the holy things. They had to carry the holy things on their own shoulders.
