“And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.”
And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest was the chief over the chief of the Levites — the appointment of Eleazar (one of the surviving sons of Aaron) as supervisor of Levitical leaders establishes a clear priestly hierarchy. Eleazar's role as chief of the Levites indicates that the priesthood maintains ultimate authority over the Levites' work.
