ELEAZAR - Death of AARON

In the second year after leaving Egypt, when the tabernacle had been set up, Eleazar is mentioned as being chief of the Levites. (Nu 1:1; 3:32) He must have been at least 30 years of age at the time, inasmuch as he was performing priestly duties.​—Nu 4:3. Eleazar was one of those above 20 years of age who had left Egypt and who also entered the Promised Land. Being of the tribe of Levi, he was not included in God’s condemnation expressed against the other 12 tribes, it VOL I p. 705

“16 The sons of Leʹvi were Gerʹshom,* Koʹhath, and Me·rarʹi. 17 These are the names of the sons of Gershom: Libʹni and Shimʹe·i.+ 18 The sons of Koʹhath were Amʹram, Izʹhar, Hebʹron, and Uzʹzi·el.+ 19 The sons of Me·rarʹi were Mahʹli and Muʹshi.These were the families of the Levites by their forefathers:+ 20 Of Gerʹshom,+ Libʹni his son, Jaʹhath his son, Zimʹmah his son, 21 Joʹah his son, Idʹdo his son, Zeʹrah his son, Je·athʹe·rai his son” - 1 Chronicles 6:16-21

"The sons of Kohath were Amʹram, Izʹhar,+ Hebʹron, and Uzʹzi·el,+ four. 13 The sons of Amʹram were Aaron+ and Moses.+ But Aaron was permanently set apart+ to sanctify the Most Holy, he and his sons, to offer sacrifices before Jehovah, to minister to him, and to pronounce blessings in his name always.+ 14 As for Moses the man of the true God, his sons were named among the tribe of the Levites. 15 The sons of Moses were Gerʹshom+ and E·li·eʹzer.+ 16 Of the sons of Gerʹshom, Shebʹu·el+ was the head. 17 Of the descendants* of E·li·eʹzer, Re·ha·biʹah+ was the head; E·li·eʹzer did not have other sons, but the sons of Re·ha·biʹah were very many. 18 Of the sons of Izʹhar,+ She·loʹmith+ was the headman. 19 The sons of Hebʹron were Je·riʹah the head, Am·a·riʹah the second, Ja·ha·ziʹel the third, and Jek·a·meʹam+ the fourth. 20 The sons of Uzʹzi·el+ were Miʹcah the head and Is·shiʹah the second." -2 Chronicles 23:12-20

These are the names of the sons of LEVI, according to their family descents: Gershom, KOHATH *, and Merari. The length of Levi’s life was 137 years"- Exodus 6:16

THE LEVITES * made up of three families from the sons of Levi were responsible for setting up, dismantling, and carrying the tabernacle [Compare Num 7:6]


THE KORAHTHITES

• THE HIGH PRIEST Aaron, & his sons THE PRIESTS , took down the curtain dividing the Holy from the Most Holy and covered the altars, the other sacred furniture and utensils. They alone covered and carried the ARK of the testimony. [Num 4: 1-12]
• THE OTHER KORAHTHITES then carried the furnishings ((NOT the ark), the altars, and other sacred furniture and utensils)
• The Gershonites transported the tent cloths, coverings, screens, courtyard hangings, and tent cords (evidently the cords of the tabernacle itself) [...]
• The Merarites took care of the panel frames, pillars, socket pedestals, tent pins and cords (cords of the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle).—Nu 1:50, 51; 3:25, 26, 30, 31, 36, 37; 4:4-33; 7:5-9"
  

*At times the term applies to the whole tribe, but usually it excludes the priestly family of Aaron (Jos 14:3, 4; 21:1-3); thus the expression “PRIESTS and Levites” is common. (1Ki 8:4; 1Ch 23:2; Ezr 1:5; Joh 1:19)- it Vol II p. 241

“Jehovah then said to Moses: 6 “Bring the tribe of Levi forward, and stand them before Aaron the priest, and they will minister+ to him. 7 They are to fulfill their responsibilities toward him and toward all the assembly before the tent of meeting by carrying out their service in connection with the tabernacle. 8 They are to take care of all the equipment of the tent of meeting and to carry out their responsibilities toward the Israelites by taking care of the services related to the tabernacle.+ 9 You are to give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are given ones, given to him from the Israelites" - Num 3:5-9

SUPPORTING SCRIPTURES

2 Chronicles 35 :10 & 11
And the service was prepared and the priests kept standing at their places, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment. And they proceeded to slaughter the passover victim and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hand, while the Levites were stripping the skins off.


2 Chronicles 29:34
[...] the priests themselves happened to be too few, and they were not able to skin all the burnt offerings. So their brothers the Levites helped them out until the work was finished and until the priests could sanctify themselves, for the Levites were more upright of heart for sanctifying themselves than the priests,

Numbers 18:2
And bring near, also, your brothers of the tribe of Levi, the clan of your father, with you, that they may be joined to you and may minister to you, to both you and your sons with you, before the tent of the Testimony. 3 And they must keep their obligation to you and their obligation to the entire tent. Only to the utensils of the holy place and to the altar they must not come near that they may not die, neither they nor YOU men.

Lev 17: 5

[...] the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they are sacrificing in the open field, and they must bring them to Jehovah to the entrance of the tent of meeting to the priest, and they must sacrifice these as communion sacrifices to Jehovah. 6 And the priest must sprinkle the blood upon Jehovah’s altar at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and he must make the fat smoke as a restful odor to Jehovah.
