Exegesis
Two coordinated nominal phrases then specify legitimate temple order: kohanim meshartim laYHWH {וְכֹהֲנִ֞ים מְשָׁרְתִ֤ים לַיהוָה֙ | wə-kō-hă-nîm mə-šār-tîm la-yə-hō-wāh} ‘priests ministering to the LORD’ uses the participle to highlight ongoing service, while bnei Aharon {בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן | bənê ʾa-hă-rōn} functions appositionally to define their authorized lineage.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:10
But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests minister to the LORD—sons of Aaron—and the Levites are in the work.
