📚 Historical Context

This genealogy traces the Levitical priestly line during Israel's time in Egypt and the wilderness wandering period (around 1400-1300 BC). Aaron became Israel's first high priest, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, and Miriam was a prophetess who helped lead the people. Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu later died for offering unauthorized fire before the Lord, while Eleazar and Ithamar continued the priestly lineage.
