Commentary

The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses,.... A son of Kohath, Ch1 23:2 . and Aaron was separated; from the children of Israel, Exo 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 Num 6:23 .
