And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, etc.] The Targum of Jonathan adds, disciples of Moses, the master of the Israelites; none of the posterity of Moses being expressly, named; Jarchi observes, that the sons of Aaron are called the generations of Moses, because he taught them the law; for whoever, he says, teaches his neighbour’s son, the law, the Scripture accounts of him as if he begat him, (see <460415>1 Corinthians 4:15); Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar; as in (<020623>Exodus 6:23).
