Contextual Overview

1 And it happened on the day that Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it, and sanctified it, and all its vessels, and the altar and all its vessels. And he anointed them and sanctified them. 2 And the rulers of Israel, the chiefs of their fathers' houses offered. These were the rulers of the tribes, these were they that stood over the numbered ones. 3 And they brought their offerings before Jehovah, six covered wagons and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the rulers, for each one an ox. And they presented them before the tabernacle. 4 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 5 Take it from them, that they may be used to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. And you shall give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service. 6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service. 8 And he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service under Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he did not give any to the sons of Kohath, because the service of the holy things belonged to them. They bore them on their shoulders.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses took the wagons and the oxen,.... Of the princes, as he was directed:

and gave them unto the Levites; the Gershonites and Merarites; for, as for the Kohathites, they had no part of them, for a reason after given, Numbers 7:9.
