The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
View commentary
The description of Aaron's consecration: 'Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, that he should burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.' Aaron's line was 'separated' (hivdil - set apart) for unique priestly functions - sanctifying holy things, burning incense, ministering, and pronouncing blessings. The repetition 'for ever' emphasizes the perpetual nature of this priesthood. Yet Hebrews 7-10 shows this earthly priesthood pointed to Christ, the eternal High Priest whose ministry truly is 'forever.' Believers now participate in Christ's priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices and blessings.
Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
