Numbers 7

It happened on the day that Musa had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and sanctified them; ²that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, brought an offering. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were numbered: ³and they brought their offering before Allah, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle. ⁴Allah spoke to Musa, saying, ⁵"Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service."

⁶Musa took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites. ⁷He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service: ⁸and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar Ibn Harun the priest. ⁹But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.
