Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel
on 1 Chronicles 23:12-17
Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever “to consecrate the most holy things”. Moses is named to record that “his sons were named among the tribe of Levi”, so the lawgiver's line is counted with the common Levites. Chronicles states the contrast without comment, the same restraint Numbers keeps.
