Numbers 7:8

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

7 Two carts and four oxen ^ahe gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service;

8 ^aand four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the¹ authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because theirs was ^athe service of the holy things, ^bwhich they carried on their shoulders.

10 Now the leaders offered ^athe dedication offering for the altar when it was anointed; so the leaders offered their offering before the altar.

Numbers 7:7-9

To the Gershonites, who had to transport the hangings and coverings of the tabernacle, two wagons are assigned: to the Merarites, who had the charge of the solid parts of the tabernacle, four wagons. The furniture and vessels the Kohathites were to carry on their own shoulders. Compare Numbers 3:25-26, Numbers 3:31, Numbers 3:36-37.
