6 Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.
7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service.
8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none because the service of the sanctuary belonging to them was that they should carry on their shoulders.
10 The leaders brought their dedication offerings when the altar was anointed, and offered their offerings before the altar.
11 The Lord said to Moses: They will offer their offering, each leader on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
12 He that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.
