Context of Numbers 7:10

8and gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen corresponding to their service, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since their responsibility was service related to the holy objects carried on their shoulders.
