In the Second Temple period, the Aaronites / Sons of Aaron / House of Aaron are the "priests" of Israel.
Overview
According to the priestly post-exilic ideology, among the Sons of Levi, only the descendants of Aaron, or Aaronites, were "priests"; the others were Levites, or servants of the priests. The Aaronites were divided in 24 families, each serving in the Temple for a week. 16 families claimed descent from Aaron's son Eleazar, and 8 from his brother Ithamar.
