Moses and Aaron were among His priests,Moses isn't usually considered a priest as such; that went to his brother Aaron. Moses was a leader, and definitely communicated with God, but normally he isn't thought of as a priest. Also, it's odd that Samuel isn't identified specifically as a prophet. Most of Israel could be considered to call on God's name, so why use that general a term?
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the LORD and He answered them.
Regardless of some unusual titles, it's definitely true that all of them called upon God, and that they had the rare distinction of Him answering them. I often wonder if what I hear when I'm praying is my own head answering me back, or if it's the Spirit. They never had that concern; God answered them directly, and there could be no doubt.
