Numbers 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 3:2

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 ( 1 Corinthians 4:15 ) ;

Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar;
as in ( Exodus 6:23 ) .
