The priest serves as a mediator between God and the people, performing sacrifices, offering prayers, and maintaining the sanctity of worship.<br><br><b>Old Testament Priests</b><br><br>The priesthood in the Old Testament is primarily associated with the tribe of Levi, specifically the descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses. God established the Aaronic priesthood as a perpetual institution for the Israelites. In <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28:1</a>, God commands Moses, "Bring near to you your brother Aaron and his sons with him from among the Israelites to serve Me as priests—Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar."<br><br>The primary duties of the priests included offering sacrifices, maintaining the Tabernacle (and later the Temple), and teaching the Law. <a href="/leviticus/10-11.htm">Leviticus 10:11</a> states, "You must teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses." The priests were also responsible for discerning the will of God, often using the Urim and Thummim (<a href="/exodus/28-30.htm">Exodus 28:30</a>).<br><br>The High Priest held a unique position, entering the Holy of Holies once a year on the Day of Atonement to make atonement for the sins of the people (<a href="/leviticus/16-32.htm">Leviticus 16:32-34</a>). The High Priest wore special garments, including the ephod and breastplate, symbolizing his sacred duties (<a href="/exodus/28-4.htm">Exodus 28:4-30</a>).<br><br><b>New Testament Priests</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of priesthood evolves with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is described as the ultimate High Priest. <a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14</a> declares, "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess." Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection fulfill the Old Testament sacrificial system, rendering the need for animal sacrifices obsolete.<br><br>The New Testament also introduces the concept of the "priesthood of all believers," as articulated in <a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." This signifies that all believers have direct access to God through Christ and are called to serve and worship Him.<br><br><b>Priestly Functions and Symbolism</b><br><br>Throughout the Bible, the priestly role is rich with symbolism and spiritual significance. Priests are seen as intercessors, standing in the gap between a holy God and sinful humanity. The sacrificial system they administered pointed to the need for atonement and foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Christ.<br><br>The priestly garments, rituals, and the Tabernacle/Temple itself are imbued with meaning, reflecting God's holiness, the seriousness of sin, and the necessity of purification. The Book of Hebrews extensively discusses the typology of the Old Testament priesthood, emphasizing how it prefigures and is fulfilled in Christ.<br><br><b>Priests in the Early Church</b><br><br>In the early Christian church, the term "priest" is not used in the same hierarchical sense as in the Old Testament. Instead, church leaders are often referred to as elders or overseers (<a href="/1_timothy/3.htm">1 Timothy 3:1-7</a>; <a href="/titus/1-5.htm">Titus 1:5-9</a>). However, the concept of spiritual leadership and pastoral care continues, with leaders called to shepherd the flock and teach sound doctrine.<br><br>The early church fathers and subsequent Christian tradition have developed the role of the priest within various denominational contexts, often drawing from both Old and New Testament principles to shape their understanding of ministry and service.<br><br>In summary, the biblical priesthood is a multifaceted institution that serves as a vital link between God and His people, culminating in the person and work of Jesus Christ, the ultimate High Priest.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub" id="sub"></a><div class="vheading2">Subtopics</div><p class="pspc"><a
