Quick answer

Aaron's four sons are named: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Overview

The sons of Aaron formed the priestly line, yet the very next verse recalls the tragic fall of the two eldest. The listing sets up a solemn reminder that priestly privilege carried grave responsibility before a holy God, a holiness fully satisfied only in our great High Priest, Jesus.

Christ at the center

In the wilderness Christ is the water from the rock, the bronze serpent lifted up that the dying might look and live (John 3:14), and the star and scepter that Balaam saw rising out of Jacob.
