“And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”
Four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the Merarites, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest — the Merarites bore responsibility for the heaviest items: the boards, bars, pillars, and bases of the tabernacle structure. Ithamar's supervisory role integrates Levitical service under Aaronic priesthood, maintaining the hierarchical order of sacred ministry throughout the wilderness journey.
