And it came to pass on the day that Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and consecrated it, and all its vessels, and the altar and all its vessels; he anointed them and consecrated them. Now the princes of Israel, heads of their fathers’ houses—these were the chiefs of the tribes, the ones responsible for the enrollment—presented themselves. And they brought their offering before the LORD: six covered wagons and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the carriers, and an ox for one. They brought them before the tabernacle. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
"Take them from them, and they shall be for the service of the tent of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, every man according to his service." So Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.
He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service. And he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, for the service of the holy things was theirs; they carried them on the shoulder. And the princes brought their dedication before the altar on the day he anointed it; and the princes presented their offerings before the altar.
