7 Now when Moses had finished setting up the Tabernacle, and anointed it and sanctified it and all its instruments, and the Altar with all its instruments, and had anointed them, and sanctified them,

² then the Princes of Israel, heads over the Houses of their fathers (they were the Princes of the tribes, who were over those who were numbered), offered

³ and brought an offering before the LORD of six covered chariots and twelve oxen (one chariot for every two Princes, and for every Prince an ox). and they offered them before the Tabernacle.

⁴ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

⁵ “Take them, that they may be to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his office.”

⁶ So Moses took the chariots and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

⁷ He gave two chariots and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their office.

⁸ And he gave four chariots and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their office, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the Priest.

⁹ But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they had charge of the Sanctuary, which they bore upon their shoulders.
