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.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 7 of Numbers. After the dedication of the altar, the tribal leaders present carts and oxen for transporting the tabernacle. However, the resources are distributed according to the specific responsibilities of each Levitical clan. The Kohathites receive no carts because they must carry the sacred objects on their shoulders. The distribution shows that even the logistics of worship are subject to divine instructions.

den Kinder Kahath aber gab er nichts, darum daß sie ein heiliges Amt auf sich hatten und auf ihren Achseln tragen mußten.
Y a los hijos de Coath no dio; porque llevaban sobre sí en los hombros el servicio del santuario.
Pero a los hijos de Coat no les dio nada, porque tenían a su cargo el servicio de los objetos sagrados, que debían llevar sobre los hombros.
Mais il n'en donna point aux fils de Kehath, parce que, selon leurs fonctions, ils devaient porter les choses saintes sur les épaules.
Ma a’ figliuoli di Chehat non ne diede; perciocchè il servigio del Santuario era loro imposto; essi aveano da portare in su le spalle
Mas aos filhos de Coate nada deu, porquanto a seu cargo estava o santuário e o levavam aos ombros.
但沒有交給 哥轄 子孫任何東西,因為他們所事奉的是聖物,必須抬在肩頭上。
