Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 7:8

Verse 8. Four wagons-unto the sons of Merari] Because they had the boards, bars, pillars, and sockets of the tabernacle to carry, chap. iv. 31, 32, therefore they had as many more wagons as the Gershonites.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 8. And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari , etc.] All the remaining wagons and oxen, which were double the number given to the Gershonites: according unto their service ; being much heavier than theirs, having all the boards, pillars, sockets, pins; cords, etc. to bear and carry: thus Moses was directed of God wisely to dispose of those carriages, in proportion to the services each was employed in; and in a spiritual way, as the day, duty, and service of the people of God be, he proportions grace and strength to them to answer thereunto: under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest ; under whose care, inspection, and direction, were both the Gershonites and Merarites, ( Numbers 4:28,33); and by whom were delivered, according to the instruction of Moses, the several wagons and oxen, to them.

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.
