Numbers 7:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonites for their responsibilities. ⁸ He also gave four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarites for their responsibilities. They were under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹ None of them were given to the Kohathites, for it was their job to carry their portion of the tabernacle upon their shoulders.
