Aaron’s Descendants(A)

This is a record of the genealogies[a] of Aaron and Moses current as of[b] the day on which the Lord addressed Moses on Mount Sinai. The[c] sons of Aaron were Nadab the first-born, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar who[d] were anointed priests and whom he consecrated[e] as priests. Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord’s presence when they offered unauthorized[f] fire before him[g] in the Sinai wilderness. Since they didn’t have their own children, Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests under the authority of[h] Aaron their father.
