6 Then Moses received the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their ministry;
8 and four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according to their ministry, under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none; because the ministry of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.
10 And the princes offered at the dedication of the altar the day that it was anointed; even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, at the dedication of the altar.
12 And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.
