EleazarSon of Aaron, high priest after his father
பற்றி · About
Eleazar, the son of Aaron, is prominently featured in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, and 1 Chronicles. He was the third son of Aaron and Elisheba (Exo.6.23,25) and was consecrated as a priest along with his brothers (Exo.28.1). After the deaths of his older brothers, Nadab and Abihu (Lev.10.1-2), Eleazar became the chief priest under his father (Num.3.32). He assisted Moses in the census (Num.26.1,3,63) and the allocation of lands to the tribes (Num.32.2,28; 34.17; Jos.14.1; 17.4; 19.51). Eleazar succeeded Aaron as high priest (Num.20.25-28; Deu.10.6) and served in that role during the conquest of Canaan (Jos.21.1; 22.13,31,32). He played a key role in the distribution of the Levitical cities (Jos.21.1) and died during the time of Joshua (Jos.24.33). His descendants continued to serve as priests (Jdg.20.28; 1Ch.6.3-4,50; 9.20; 24.1-6; Ezr.7.5).
