When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it and all its furnishings. He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils

Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted, made offerings

They brought as their offerings before the LORD six covered carts and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle

The LORD said to Moses

Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man's work requires

So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites

He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required

and four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required, all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest

But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible
