3 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; for two princes a chariot, and for every one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

5 Take them, and they shall be to minister in the tabernacle of the congregation; and you shall give them to the Levites, every man according to his service.
