¹ And it came to pass on the day that Moses had made an end of setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them and sanctified them;² that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes, these are the ones that were over those that were numbered:³ and they brought their oblation 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 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,⁵ Take 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.⁶ And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.⁷ Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service:⁸ and 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.⁹ But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they bore it on their shoulders.
