Numbers 7:6–9

6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen corresponding to their service,q 8 and gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen corresponding to their service,r under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since their responsibility was service related to the holy objectss carried on their shoulders.t
