What does the Bible say about the priesthood of Aaron?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible presents the priesthood of Aaron as God’s appointed means to mediate between Him and the Israelites, serving through sacrifices and offerings.
The priesthood of Aaron, as outlined in Exodus 28 and 29, was established by God to minister on behalf of the people of Israel. Aaron and his sons were chosen from the tribe of Levi to serve God in the tabernacle, representing the people before God through offerings and sacrifices. Their role was vital as they performed the sacrificial duties, which pointed to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, our great High Priest. This priesthood was a foreshadowing of Christ's intercessory work, fulfilling the need for mediation between God and humanity, thus signifying the importance of the sacrificial system.
