Contextual Overview

1And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day of YHWH's speaking with Moses in Mount Sinai. 2And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar; 3these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hand he has consecrated for acting as priest.4And Nadab dies—Abihu also—before YHWH, in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they did not have sons; and Eleazar—Ithamar also—acts as priest in the presence of their father Aaron. 5And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, 6"Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you have caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him, 7and kept his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place; 8and they have kept all the vessels of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the Dwelling Place; 9and you have given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel. 10And you appoint Aaron and his sons, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who comes near is put to death."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed,.... With the holy, anointing oil, with which they were anointed when, Aaron was and they only, see Exodus 30:30;

whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office; that is, whom Moses consecrated, by anointing them, putting the priest's garments on them, offering sacrifice for them, and filling their hands with sacrifices which is the phrase here used for consecration: see

Exodus 29:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

whom he consecrated - i. e. whom Moses consecrated, or literally as in the margin, whose “hand he filled,” by conferring their office upon them (Leviticus 8:1 ff).
