    The supplied morphology consistently marks the form as a proper noun. In Numbers 20:26 the APB renders Aaron’s garments being placed on his son before Aaron’s death, while Numbers 27:21 places the priest before whom inquiry is made; 1 Chronicles 24:3 and 1 Chronicles 24:4 refer to the sons of Eleazar in priestly divisions. The same personal name also occurs for a mighty man in 2 Samuel 23:9, Abinadab’s son entrusted with the ark in 1 Samuel 7:1, and Mahli’s son in 1 Chronicles 23:21.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB normally presents the proper name as “Eleazar,” whether the person is named as Aaron’s son, as an ancestor, or within another family or narrative setting. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, its surrounding descriptions identify the verse context rather than supplying separate meanings for the name.
