John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 6. And Moses took the wagons and the oxen , etc.] Of the princes, as he was directed: and gave them unto the Levites ; the Gershonites and Merarites; for, as for the Kohathites, they had no part of them, for a reason after given, ( Numbers 7:9).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The offering of the princes to the service of the tabernacle was no made till it was fully set up. Necessary observances must always tak place of free-will offerings. The more any are advanced, the greate opportunity they have of serving God and their generation. No soone was the tabernacle set up, than provision is made for the removal of it. Even when but just settled in the world, we must be preparing for changes and removes, especially for the great change.
