Numbers 7:3-9

LEB(i) 3 They brought their offering before the presence of* Yahweh, six covered utility carts and twelve cattle, a utility cart for two of the leaders, and a bull for each; and they presented them before* the tabernacle. 4 Yahweh said to Moses, saying, 5 "Take them,* and they will be used to do the work of the tent of the assembly; and you will give them to the Levites, each according to his required service."* 6 So Moses took the utility carts and the cattle, and he gave them to the Levites. 7 Two utility carts and four cattle he gave to the descendants* of Gershon according to their required service;* 8 and four utility carts and eight cattle he gave to the descendants* of Merari according to their required service,* under the authority of* Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But to the descendants* of Kohath he did not give anything because the work of the sanctuary they carried upon them on their shoulders.*
