“But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.”
But to the Kohathites he gave nothing — because theirs was the service of the holy things, carried on the shoulder. This deliberate exclusion from wagon provision establishes a theological principle: proximity to the most holy items required direct human bearing rather than animal transport. The Kohathites' self-carrying of the ark, table, lampstand, and altars reflects their highest dignity and heaviest responsibility.
