The Wilderness Years

Receive them from them to serve in the ministry of the tabernacle, and thou shalt deliver them to the Levites according to the order of their ministry.

Moses therefore receiving the wagons and the oxen, delivered them to the Levites.

Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gerson, according to their necessity.

The other four wagons, and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their offices and service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

But to the sons of Caath he gave no wagons or oxen: because they serve in the sanctuary and carry their burdens upon their own shoulders.

And the princes offered for the dedication of the altar on the day when it was anointed, their oblation before the altar.

And the Lord said to Moses: Let each of the princes one day after another offer their gifts for the dedication of the altar.
