With his brother Ithamar he ministered as a priest during their father’s lifetime and immediately before his death was invested on Mount Hor with the sacred garments, as the successor of Aaron in the office of high priest (Numbers 20:28). One of his first duties was in conjunction with Moses to superintend the census of the people (Numbers 26:3). After the conquest of Canaan by Joshua he took part in the distribution of the land (Joshua 14:1). The time of his death is not mentioned in Scripture.
