Ithamar
이다말
Named at Exodus 6:23 as a son of Aaron and Elisheba. Exodus 28:1 names him among Aaron’s sons who are to minister in the priest’s office, and 38:21 says the materials used for the tabernacle were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, “by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest”. Leviticus 10:6 has Moses tell Aaron, Eleazar and Ithamar not to let the hair of their heads go loose or tear their clothes, so that they do not die; at 10:16–17 Moses finds that the goat of the sin offering has been burned and is angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, asking why they have not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary. Numbers 3:4 says that Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father, and 4:28 and 4:33 put the service of the Gershonites and of the sons of Merari in the Tent of Meeting under his hand.
