Founders of the Priesthood

This verse names the key figures at the start of Israel's formal priesthood. Commentators note that Amram's children—Aaron (the first high priest), Moses (the lawgiver), and Miriam (a prophetess)—were foundational. The list then narrows to Aaron's sons, establishing the specific family from which all future priests would descend.
