Contextual Overview

1 These are the people of Aaron and Moses at the time when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. 2 The names of the sons of Aaron are Nadab the first-born, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the chosen religious leaders. Aaron set them apart to work as religious leaders. 4 But Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they made a fire that was not holy to the Lord in the Desert of Sinai. And they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar worked as religious leaders during the life-time of their father Aaron. 5 Then the Lord said to Moses, 6 "Bring the family of Levi near. Set them in front of Aaron the religious leader so they may serve him. 7 They will do the duties for him and for all the people in front of the meeting tent. They will do the work around the meeting tent, 8 and will keep all the things that belong to the meeting tent. They will take care of the duties for the people of Israel as they work around the meeting tent. 9 You will give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are all given to him from among the people of Israel. 10 Set apart Aaron and his sons to do the work of religious leaders. But if anyone comes near who is not a religious leader, he must be put to death."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron,.... The Targum of Jonathan adds, disciples of Moses, the master of the Israelites; none of the posterity of Moses being expressly, named; Jarchi observes, that the sons of Aaron are called the generations of Moses, because he taught them the law; for whoever, he says, teaches his neighbour's son, the law, the Scripture accounts of him as if he begat him, see 1 Corinthians 4:15;

Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar; as in Exodus 6:23.
