The narrative notes that the sons of Amram are Aaron and Moses, and that Aaron was set apart to sanctify the most holy things and to make atonement for Israel through his priestly office. The mention of Aaron and Moses together emphasizes the two greatest figures in Israel's religious history and their shared role in the establishment of Israel's covenant with God. The specification that Aaron was set apart for priestly duties emphasizes the distinction between Aaron's priestly role and Moses' prophetic role. The reference to Aaron's role in making atonement establishes the theological basis for the priestly office and its connection to the temple service that the Levites will support.
