3 their gifts in the sight of the Lord: six covered wagons with twelve oxen. Two leaders offered one wagon, and each offered one ox, and they offered these in the sight of the tabernacle.
They brought as their offering before the LORD six covered carts and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two leaders—and presented them before the tabernacle.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses:
And the LORD said to Moses,
5 “Receive these things from them, in order to serve in the ministry of the tabernacle, and you shall deliver them to the Levites, according to the order of their ministry.”
“Accept these gifts from them, that they may be used in the work of the Tent of Meeting. And give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service.”
6 And so Moses, having received the wagons and the oxen, delivered them to the Levites.
So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to what they needed.
He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen, as their service required,

and he gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen, as their service required, all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
