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 (
Gen .
8 :
20 ),
Abraham (
12 :
7 ;
13 :
4 ),
Isaac (
26 :
25 ),
Jacob (
31 :
54 ),
and Job (
Job 1 :
5 ).
The name first occurs as applied to Melchizedek (
Gen .
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 Lev .
21 :
16 -
23 .
There are ordinances also regarding the priests '
dress (
Ex .
28 :
40 -
43 )
and the manner of their consecration to the office (
29 :
1 -
37 ).
Their duties were manifold (
Ex .
27 :
20 ,
21 ;
29 :
38 -
44 ;
Lev .
6 :
12 ;
10 :
11 ;
24 :
8 ;
Num .
10 :
1 -
10 ;
Deut .
17 :
8 -
13 ;
33 :
10 ;
Mal .
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 (
1 Chr .
24 :
7 -
18 ).
This number was retained after the Captivity (
Ezra 2 :
36 -
39 ;
Neh .
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 " (
Heb .
10 :
10 ,
12 ).
There is now no human priesthood . (
See Epistle to the Hebrews throughout .)
The term "
priest "
is indeed applied to believers (
1 Pet .
2 :
9 ;
Rev .
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 .
