Contextual Overview

1 Now, these, were the pedigrees of Aaron and Moses, - in the day when Yahweh spake with Moses in Mount Sinai. 2 And these, are the names of the sons of Aaron - the firstborn Nadab, - and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These, are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, - who were installed to minister as priests. 4 But Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they brought near strange fire before Yahweh in the desert of Sinai, and sons, had they none, - so then Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests, in the presence of Aaron their father. 5 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying - 6 Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt cause it to stand before Aaron the priest, - so shall they wait upon him; 7 so shall they keep his charge, and the charge of all the assembly, before the tent of meeting, - to do the laborious work of the habitation; 8 so shall they have charge of all the furniture of the tent of meeting, even the charge of the sons of Israel, - to do the laborious work of the habitation. 9 Thus shalt thou give the Levites unto Aaron and unto his sons, - given, given, they are unto him, from among the sons of Israel; 10 but unto Aaron, and unto his sons, shalt thou give oversight, so shall they keep charge of their priesthood, - and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed,.... With the holy, anointing oil, with which they were anointed when, Aaron was and they only, see Exodus 30:30;

whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office; that is, whom Moses consecrated, by anointing them, putting the priest's garments on them, offering sacrifice for them, and filling their hands with sacrifices which is the phrase here used for consecration: see

Exodus 29:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

whom he consecrated - i. e. whom Moses consecrated, or literally as in the margin, whose “hand he filled,” by conferring their office upon them (Leviticus 8:1 ff).
