Numbers 7:3-9

Rotherham(i) 3 yea, then brought they in, as their offering, before Yahweh––six covered waggons, and twelve oxen, a waggon for every two of the princes, and an ox for each one,––yea they brought them near before the habitation. 4 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: 5 Take [them] of them, so shall they be for doing the laborious work of the tent of meeting,––and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to the need of his laborious work. 6 So Moses took the waggons, and the oxen,––and gave them unto the Levites: 7 two of the waggons and four of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Gershon,––according to the need of their laborious work; 8 and, four of the waggons, and eight of the oxen, gave he unto the sons of Merari,––according to the need of their laborious work, in the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest; 9 but, unto the sons of Kohath, gave he none,––because, as to the laborious work of the sanctuary [which] pertained unto them, upon their shoulders, were they to carry it.
