Eleazar

Eleazar was the third son of Aaron and succeeded his father as Israel's high priest after Aaron's death on Mount Hor (Numbers 20:25–28). He supervised the consecration of Joshua as Moses's successor (Numbers 27:18–23) and assisted in the division of Canaan among the tribes (Joshua 14:1; 19:51). He oversaw the handling of sacred materials after the deaths of Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's older sons, and preserved the censers of Korah's company as a warning (Numbers 16:36–40). His son Phinehas inherited the priestly line, and through Zadok the high priesthood passed to the Aaronide-Eleazar line in Solomon's time. Eleazar is listed as an ancestor of Ezra the scribe (Ezra 7:5) and appears in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:15, though this is a different Eleazar).
