four wagons: Numbers 3:36, Numbers 3:37, Numbers 4:28-33

the sons: Though the Merarites were the most numerous, yet they had the greatest burden, namely, the boards, bars, pillars, and sockets, to carry - Numbers 4:31, Numbers 4:32, Numbers 4:48. Therefore they had double the number of waggons to what the Gershonites had assigned them.

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 6:47 - Merari

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari,.... All the remaining wagons and oxen, which were double the number given to the Gershonites:

according unto their service; being much heavier than theirs, having all the boards, pillars, sockets, pins; cords, c. to bear and carry: thus Moses was directed of God wisely to dispose of those carriages, in proportion to the services each was employed in and in a spiritual way, as the day, duty, and service of the people of God be, he proportions grace and strength to them to answer thereunto:

under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest; under whose care, inspection, and direction, were both the Gershonites and Merarites, Numbers 4:28; and by whom were delivered, according to the instruction of Moses, the several wagons and oxen, to them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 7:8. Four wagons - unto the sons of Merari — Because they had the boards, bars, pillars, and sockets of the tabernacle to carry, Numbers 4:31-32, therefore they had as many more wagons as the Gershonites.
