Numbers 3:2
"And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron,.... 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 Co1 4:15 , Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar; as in Exo 6:23 .
