The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses, etc.] A son of Kohath, (<132302>1 Chronicles 23:2 <020620>Exodus 6:20) and Aaron was separated; from the children of Israel, (<022801>Exodus 28:1), that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever; by an holy use of them, and keeping them from all unholy and profane uses; and this they were to do as long as the Aaronic priesthood lasted: to burn incense before the Lord; in the holy place, on the altar of incense; which none but priests descended from Aaron might do: to minister unto him; both at the altar of burnt offering and of incense; and the high priest in the holy of holies: and to bless his name for ever, or “in his name”; that is, the people in his name; (see <040623>Numbers 6:23-27).
