His children, Aaron, Moses, and Miriam, played pivotal roles in the Exodus narrative. Aaron became the first high priest, establishing the Aaronic priesthood, which is central to the Levitical system of worship. Moses is one of the most significant figures in the Bible, leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Law at Sinai. Miriam, their sister, is recognized as a prophetess and played a key role in the Exodus, particularly noted for leading the women in song after crossing the Red Sea (<a href="/exodus/15-20.htm">Exodus 15:20-21</a>). This family is foundational in the history of Israel, with Moses and Aaron being types of Christ in their roles as deliverer and high priest, respectively.<p><b>The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.</b><br>Aaron's sons were consecrated as priests, continuing the priestly line. Nadab and Abihu, however, are known for their disobedience; they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord and were consumed by fire as a result (<a href="/leviticus/10.htm">Leviticus 10:1-2</a>). This incident underscores the holiness required in approaching God and the seriousness of the priestly office. Eleazar and Ithamar continued the priestly line after the death of their brothers. Eleazar, in particular, became the chief priest after Aaron's death and played a significant role in the distribution of the land in Canaan (<a href="/joshua/14.htm">Joshua 14:1</a>). The priesthood of Aaron's sons is a precursor to the ultimate high priesthood of Jesus Christ, who fulfills and surpasses the Levitical priesthood (<a href="/hebrews/7-23.htm">Hebrews 7:23-28</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/amram.htm">Amram</a></b><br>The father of Aaron, Moses, and Miriam.
