PRIEST - P>@ - The English word is derived from the Greek presbyter , signifying an "elder" (Heb. cohen). Origin.
The idea of a priesthood connects itself in all its forms, pure or corrupted, with the consciousness, more or less distinct of sin. Men feel that they have broken a law. The power above them is holier than they are, and they dare not approach it. They crave for the intervention of some one of whom they can think as likely to be more acceptable than themselves. He must offer up their prayers, thanksgivings, sacrifices. He becomes their representative in "things pertaining unto God." He may become also (though this does not always follow) the representative of God to man. The functions of the priest and prophet may exist in the same person. No trace of a hereditary or caste priesthood meets us in the worship of the patriarchal age. Once and once only does the word cohen meet us as belonging to a ritual earlier than the time of Abraham. Melchizedek is "the priest of the most high God." kjv@Genesis:14:18) In the worship of the patriarchs themselves, the chief of the family, as such, acted as the priest. The office descended with the birthright, and might apparently he transferred with it. When established.
The priesthood was first established in the family of Aaron, and all the sons of Aaron were priests. They stood between the high priest on the one hand and the Levites on the other. HIGH PRIEST; LEVITES The ceremony of their consecration is described in HIGH PRIEST - 1986 kjv@Exodus:29:1; kjv@Leviticus:8:1) ... Dress.
The dress which the priests wore during their ministrations consisted of linen drawers, with a close-fitting cassock, also of linen, white, but with a diamond or chess-board pattern on it. This came nearly to the feet, and was to be worn in its garment shape. Comp. kjv@John:19:23) The white cassock was gathered round the body with a girdle of needle work, in which, as in the more gorgeous belt of the high priest, blue, purple and scarlet were intermingled with white, and worked in the form of flowers. kjv@Exodus:28:39-40 kjv@Exodus:39:2; kjv@Ezekiel:44:17-19) Upon their heads the were to wear caps or bonnets in the form of a cup-shaped flower, also of fine linen. In all their acts of ministration they were to be bare footed. Duties .
The chief duties of the priests were to watch over the fire on the altar of burnt offering, and to keep it burning evermore both by day and night, kjv@Leviticus:6:12; kjv@2Chronicles:13:11) to feed the golden lamp outside the vail with oil kjv@Exodus:27:20-21; kjv@Leviticus:24:2) to offer the morning and evening sacrifices, each accompanied with a meet offering and a drink offering, at the door of the tabernacle. kjv@Exodus:29:38-44) They were also to teach the children of Israel the statutes of the Lord. kjv@Leviticus:10:11 kjv@Leviticus:33:10; kjv@2Chronicles:15:3; kjv@Ezekiel:44:23-24) During the journeys in the wilderness it belonged to them to cover the ark and all the vessels of the sanctuary with a purple or scarlet cloth before the Levites might approach them. kjv@Numbers:4:5-15) As the people started on each days march they were to blow "an alarm" with long silver trumpets. kjv@Numbers:10:1-8) Other instruments of music might be used by the more highly-trained Levites and the schools of the prophets, but the trumpets belonged only to the priests, The presence of the priests on the held of battle, ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:23 kjv@1Chronicles:12:27 kjv@2Chronicles:20:21-22) led, in the later periods of Jewish history, to the special appointment at such times of a war priest. Other functions were hinted at in Deuteronomy which might have given them greater influence as the educators and civilizers of the people. They were to act (whether individually or collectively does not distinctly appear) as a court of appeal in the more difficult controversies in criminal or civil cases. (17:8-13) It must remain doubtful however how far this order kept its ground during the storms and changes that followed, Functions such as these were clearly incompatible with the common activities of men. Provision for support .
This consisted
Of one tenth of the tithes which the people paid to the Levites, i.e. one per cent on the whole produce of the country. kjv@Numbers:18:26-28) Of a special tithe every third year. (14:28; 26:12) Of the redemption money, paid at the fixed rate of five shekels a head, for the first-born of man or beast. kjv@Numbers:18:14-19) Of the redemption money paid in like manner for men or things specially dedicated to the Lord. kjv@Leviticus:27:5) Of spoil, captives, cattle and the like, taken in war. kjv@Numbers:31:25-47) Of the shew-bread, the flesh of the burnt offerings, peace offerings, trespass offerings, kjv@Leviticus:6:26 kjv@Leviticus:6:29 kjv@Leviticus:7:6-10; kjv@Numbers:18:8-14) and in particular the heave-shoulder and the wave-breast. kjv@Leviticus:10:12-15) Of an undefined amount of the firstfruits of corn, wine and oil. kjv@Exodus:23:19; kjv@Leviticus:2:14 kjv@Leviticus:26:1-10) On their settlement in Canaan the priestly families had thirteen cities assigned them, with "suburbs" or pasture-grounds for their flocks. kjv@Joshua:21:13-19) These provisions were obviously intended to secure the religion of Israel against the dangers of a caste of pauper priests, needy and dependent, and unable to bear their witness to the true faith. They were, on the other hand as far as possible removed from the condition of a wealthy order. Coarses .
The priesthood was divided into four and twenty "courses" or orders, ( kjv@1Chronicles:24:1-19; kjv@2Chronicles:23:8; kjv@Luke:1:5) each of which was to serve in rotation for one week, while the further assignment of special services during the week was determined by lot. kjv@Luke:1:9) Each course appears to have commenced its work on the Sabbath, the outgoing priests taking the morning sacrifice, and leaving that of the evening to their successors. ( kjv@2Chronicles:23:8) Numbers
If we may accept the numbers given by Jewish writers as at all trustworthy, the proportion of the priesthood population of Palestine during the last century of their existence as an order, must have been far greater than that of the clergy has ever been in any Christian nation. Over and above those that were scattered in the country and took their turn there were not fewer than 24,000 stationed permanently at Jerusalem,and 12,000 at Jericho. It was almost inevitable that the great mass of the order, under such circumstances, should sink in character and reputation. The reigns of the two kings David and Solomon were the culminating period of the glory of the Jewish priesthood. It will be interesting to bring together the few facts that indicate the position of the priests in the New Testament period of their history. The number scattered throughout Palestine was, as has been stated, very large. Of these the greater number were poor and ignorant. The priestly order, like the nation, was divided between contending sects. In the scenes of the last tragedy of Jewish history the order passes away without honor, "dying as a fool dieth." The high priesthood is given to the lowest and vilest of the adherents of the frenzied Zealots. Other priests appear as deserting to the enemy. The destruction of Jerusalem deprived the order at one blow of all but an honorary distinction.

Priest @ The Heb. kohen, Gr. hierus, Lat. sacerdos, always denote one who offers sacrifices. At first every man was his own priest, and presented his own sacrifices before God. Afterwards that office devolved on the head of the family, as in the cases of Noah kjv@Genesis:8:20), Abraham (12:7; 13:4), Isaac (26:25), Jacob (31:54), and Job kjv@Job:1:5). The name first occurs as applied to Melchizedek kjv@Genesis:14:18). Under the Levitical arrangements the office of the priesthood was limited to the tribe of Levi, and to only one family of that tribe, the family of Aaron. Certain laws respecting the qualifications of priests are given in kjv@Leviticus:21:16-23. There are ordinances also regarding the priests' dress kjv@Exodus:28:40-43) and the manner of their consecration to the office (29:1-37). Their duties were manifold kjv@Exodus:27:20-21 kjv@Exodus:29:38-44; kjv@Leviticus:6:12 kjv@Leviticus:10:11 kjv@Leviticus:24:8 ; kjv@Numbers:10:1-10; kjv@Deuteronomy:17:8-13 kjv@Deuteronomy:33:10; kjv@Malachi:2:7). They represented the people before God, and offered the various sacrifices prescribed in the law. In the time of David the priests were divided into twenty-four courses or classes ( kjv@1Chronicles:24:7-18). This number was retained after the Captivity kjv@Ezra:2:36-39; kjv@Nehemiah:7:39-42). "The priests were not distributed over the country, but lived together in certain cities [forty-eight in number, of which six were cities of refuge, q.v.], which had been assigned to their use. From thence they went up by turns to minister in the temple at Jerusalem. Thus the religious instruction of the people in the country generally was left to the heads of families, until the establishment of synagogues, an event which did not take place till the return from the Captivity, and which was the main source of the freedom from idolatry that became as marked a feature of the Jewish people thenceforward as its practice had been hitherto their great national sin." The whole priestly system of the Jews was typical. It was a shadow of which the body is Christ. The priests all prefigured the great Priest who offered "one sacrifice for sins" "once for all" kjv@Hebrews:10:10-12). There is now no human priesthood. (
See Epistle to the Hebrews throughout.) The term "priest" is indeed applied to believers ( kjv@1Peter:2:9; kjv@Revelation:1:6), but in these cases it implies no sacerdotal functions. All true believers are now "kings and priests unto God." As priests they have free access into the holiest of all, and offer up the sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, and the sacrifices of grateful service from day to day.
