Order of the Host – The Sons of Aaron

At the time the Lord ordered the numbering on Mount Sinai, the sons of Aaron the priest were Nadab, the first-born, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. All of whom were consecrated along with Aaron to minister in the priest’s office; but of these four sons, Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they offered strange, forbidden, fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai; and since at the time they had no children, Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office with Aaron their father.

Order of the Host - .The tribe of Levi.

And the Lord spoke unto Moses saying, “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest that they may minister unto him. And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation to do the service of the tabernacle.  They shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.”

The lord explained to Moses, that the Levites were chosen by Him to do service to Moses and his sons the priests because they were chosen in place of the first-born of Israel for that service. They and they only were to come near to the tabernacle to do service to Aaron and his sons.  Indeed the first-born after the Passover belonged to the Lord; but in their stead, the Lord chose the Levites for this His special tabernacle service.
