Éxodo 28:1

1. Take thou unto thee Aaron Or, Bring thou Aaron thy brother near to thee . Moses, as the divinely chosen minister and mediator between Jehovah and the people, is the proper person to formally institute a new law and order of priestly ministrations . Nadab and Abihu have been already mentioned, (Exodus 24:1; Exodus 24:9,) and in Leviticus 10:1-2, we read of their sudden destruction for offering “strange fire before Jehovah . ” The four sons of Aaron are mentioned in the genealogy of chapter 6:23 . Eleazar succeeded his father, and the priestly robes were transferred to him in Mount Hor . Numbers 20:24-28. He in turn was succeeded by his son Phinehas . Compare Exodus 6:25, and Joshua 24:33; Judges 20:28. The descendants of Ithamar subsequently attained precedence, (see note on 1 Samuel 1:9,) and representatives of both these sons of Aaron appear to have held office in David’s time, (see note on 2 Samuel 6:17; 2 Samuel 8:17,) but the deposition of Abiathar by Solomon (2 Kings 2:35, note) restored the line of Eleazar .
