Aaron, the brother of Moses, was chosen by God to be the first high priest, establishing a hereditary priesthood through his descendants, the Levites. This lineage underscores the importance of divine selection and continuity in spiritual leadership. The Hebrew root for "descendants" (בָּנִים, banim) emphasizes the generational aspect of this priestly duty, signifying a perpetual covenant and responsibility passed down through Aaron's family.were the ones who presented offerings The act of presenting offerings was central to the worship and sacrificial system of ancient Israel. The Hebrew word for "offerings" (קָרְבָּנוֹת, korbanot) implies drawing near to God, symbolizing the people's desire for communion with the Divine. Aaron and his descendants were entrusted with this sacred duty, serving as mediators between God and Israel. This role highlights the necessity of a holy and consecrated priesthood to facilitate the people's relationship with God.on the altar of burnt offering The altar of burnt offering was a key fixture in the Tabernacle and later the Temple, where sacrifices were made to atone for sin and express devotion to God. The Hebrew term for "altar" (מִזְבֵּחַ, mizbeach) is derived from a root meaning "to slaughter," indicating the altar's primary function in sacrificial rites. This altar was a place of transformation, where offerings were consumed by fire, symbolizing purification and the ascent of prayers to heaven.and on the altar of incense The altar of incense, located in the Holy Place, was used to burn fragrant incense, representing the prayers of the people ascending to God. The Hebrew word for "incense" (קְטֹרֶת, ketoret) conveys a sense of smoke rising, a metaphor for the spiritual act of prayer. This altar's role in the daily rituals underscores the importance of continual prayer and intercession in maintaining a relationship with God.to perform all the work of the Most Holy Place The Most Holy Place, or Holy of Holies, was the innermost sanctuary of the Tabernacle and Temple, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. Only the high priest could enter this sacred space, and only once a year on the Day of Atonement. The Hebrew term for "work" (עֲבוֹדָה, avodah) encompasses service and worship, indicating the comprehensive nature of the priestly duties performed in this sacred space. This highlights the reverence and solemnity required in approaching God's presence.and to make atonement for Israel Atonement is a central theme in the sacrificial system, signifying reconciliation between God and His people. The Hebrew word for "atonement" (כַּפָּרָה, kippur) is related to the concept of covering or purging sin. Aaron and his descendants were responsible for performing rituals that symbolically cleansed the people of their sins, restoring their covenant relationship with God. This foreshadows the ultimate atonement made by Jesus Christ, the perfect High Priest, who reconciles humanity to God through His sacrifice.according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded Moses, as the servant of God, received the Law and instructions for worship directly from God. The Hebrew word for "commanded" (צִוָּה, tzivah) implies a divine mandate, underscoring the authority and importance of adhering to God's instructions. This phrase emphasizes the continuity and faithfulness required in following God's commands, as established through Moses, ensuring that the worship practices remained true to God's original design.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_chronicles/6.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(49) But Aaron and his sons offered.--Literally, And Aaron and his sons were offering.
