The office of the Levites The sons of Amram This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Amram, a significant figure in Israel's history. Amram was a member of the tribe of Levi, and his sons, Aaron and Moses, played pivotal roles in the Exodus narrative. The mention of Amram here underscores the importance of family lineage in the priestly and prophetic traditions of Israel. Historically, the Levites were set apart for religious duties, and Amram's sons were central to God's plan for His people. Aaron and Moses Aaron was set apart he and his descendants forever to consecrate the most holy things to burn incense before the LORD to minister before Him and to pronounce blessings in His name forever That he should sanctify the most holy-things.--Rather, to hallow (or consecrate) him as most holy; literally, holy of holies (qodesh q?d?shim), an expression not applied to Aaron in any other passage of Scripture. The meaning is that the priests represented a higher grade of holiness, a more thorough consecration, than the mere Levites, because they were called to the discharge of a higher and holier ministry. He and his sons.--All the priests are included with Aaron. To burn incense.--The Hebrew term means to burn victims as well as incense. To minister unto him, and to bless in his name--The same words occur (Deuteronomy 10:8) with reference to the purpose for which the tribe of Levi was "separated." The tribe obviously includes the Aaronite clan. (Comp. also Deuteronomy 21:5.) And to bless in his name.--This appears right from Numbers 6:23. Others render, and to bless His name. . . . Verse 13. - The sons of Amram. From Amram, the first-mentioned son of Kohath, come the two great names of Aaron and Moses (Exodus 6:20). Aaron was separated,... and his sons for ever. This statement must be read, both with ver. 3 - into the number of Levites mentioned in which Aaron and his sons do not count - and with ver. 14, which implies that Moses and his sons did count into that number. The sons of Aaron are dealt with in 1 Chronicles 24:1-19, infra. That he should sanctify the most holy things. The Hebrew text renders it doubtful whether the rendering here should not rather be, "Aaron was separated to sanctify him as most holy," etc. If it be so, this is the only place where the forcible term, "holy of holies" (most holy), is used of Aaron. The duties of the priest are described as threefold, in this place, viz.: "to burn incense before the Lord," - this will carry the idea of making atonement; "to minister to God," on behalf of man, ? this will be one part of the work of a mediator; and "to bless in the Name of God," - this will fulfil the remaining part. For ever. The proviso may, no doubt, include reference to the "ever-living High Priest." The threefold summary of solemn and beneficent duties receives ample illustration from many passages, and in special connection with the names of Aaron and his sons (Exodus 28:1, 38, 43; Exodus 29:1, 35, 45; Exodus 30:7-10; Numbers 6:22-27).Parallel Commentaries ...
