| Numbers 3:4 | *Now Nadab and Abiu died without children, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the desert of Sinai: and Eleazar and Ithamar performed the priestly office, in the presence of Aaron, their father. Leviticus 10:1-2.; 1 Paralipomenon 24:2. | Presence; or as it is expressed, (1 Paralipomenon 24:9,) under the hand of Aaron, by his direction, and in quality of his assistant, (Calmet) while he lived, Eleazar succeeded him in the high priesthood; (Josue 24:33,) and his children possessed that dignity, till the posterity of Ithamar came in under Heli, (Numbers 25:13.)
