This verse describes a twofold responsibility: he is to have charge
of the ceremonies pertaining to the Holy Place and oversight
over the whole tabernacle. The particular ceremonies and materials listed here include oil for the light
(see Exodus 27:20–21), the fragrant incense
(see Exodus 30:34–38), the regular grain offering
(see Exodus 29:38–46), and anointing oil
(see Exodus 30:26–29). Eleazar is to exercise oversight over the entire Levitical workforce

16 Eléazar, fils du sacrificateur Aaron, aura sous sa surveillance l'huile du chandelier, le parfum odoriférant, l'offrande perpétuelle et l'huile d'onction; il aura sous sa surveillance tout le tabernacle et tout ce qu'il contient, le sanctuaire et ses ustensiles.
