With these we may class the כהנים Exodus 19:22,24 (J).

3 priests of special orders in Israel:

a. Micah in the hill-country of Ephraim consecrated his own son וַיְהִילֿוֺ לְכֹהֵן Judges 17:5; but so soon as he could secure Jonathan ben Gershom, a descendant of Moses (see VB Judges 18:30), he consecrated him, לכהן ׳היה ל Judges 17:10,12,13; Judges 18:4,19; הַכֹּהֵן Judges 18:6; Judges 18:17; Judges 18:18; Judges 18:20; Judges 18:24; Judges 18:27.

The כהנים of the other cities of Judah, הבמות ׳כ, who were not allowed to minister in Jerusalem 2 Kings 23:8 (twice in verse); 2 Kings 23:9,20, may be an attempt to enforce an exclusion from the priesthood of all but Levitical priests.

7 Aaronic priests. In H. it is taken for granted that a priest is of the seed of Aaron; the plural is never used; כֹּהֵן is used for any priest Leviticus 21:9; Leviticus 22:10,11,12,13; הַכֹּהֵן for Aaron Leviticus 21:21, and for the official priest (acting for the priesthood, almost collective) Leviticus 17:5,6; Leviticus 22:14; Leviticus 23:10,11,20 (twice in verse); Leviticus 27:8 (3 t. in verse); Leviticus 27:11,12 (twice in verse); Leviticus 27:14 (twice in verse); Leviticus 27:18,21,23.

8 the high priest: הַכֹּהֵן is frequently used (see

4) to designate the priest who was at the head of priestly affairs. The adjective הַגָּדוֺל first appears of Jehoiada 2 Kings 12:11, then of Hilkiah 2 Kings 22:4,8; 2 Kings 23:4; 2Chronicles 34:9; after the exile, of Joshua Haggai 1:1,12,14; Haggai 2:2,4; Zechariah 3:1,8; Zechariah 6:11, and Eliashib Nehemiah 3:1,20; Nehemiah 13:28. But P uses it of Aaron and his eldest descendants who are anointed with holy oil Leviticus 21:10 (H; הַגָּדוֺל מֵאֶחָיו ׳הכ), Numbers 35:25,28 (twice in verse); Joshua 20:6, and so הַמָּשִׁיחַ ׳הַכּ Leviticus 4:3,5,16; Leviticus 6:15, compare Leviticus 16:32. הָראֹשׁ ׳כ is used of Seraiah 2 Kings 25:18 = Jeremiah 52:24; and, in Chronicler, of Amariah 2Chronicles 19:11, Jehoiada 2 Chronicles 24:11, Azariah 2 Chronicles 26:20; 31:10; of Aaron, Ezra 7:5. (We also supposes הרואה in 2 Samuel 15:27 to be a corruption of הראשׁ, which he regards as post-exilic insertion. The test is corrupt [see DrSm. 1.c.]; but this correction is improbable. Lists of high priests occur 1 Chronicles 5:30-41; 1 Chronicles 6:35-38.) A priest of second rank ((ה)מִשְׁנֶה כֹּהֵן) appears in 2 Kings 23:4 (construct plural incorrect), 2 Kings 25:18 = Jeremiah 52:24; ׳זִקְנֵי הַכּ 2 Kings 19:2 = Isaiah 37:2; Jeremiah 19:1; ׳שָׂרֵי הַכּ2Chronicles 36:14; Ezra 8:24,29; Ezra 10:5; ׳רָאשֵׁי הַכּ Nehemiah 12:7.

[כָּהֵן] noun masculine priest (see Biblical Hebrew כהן); — emphatic כָּהֲנָא Ezra 7:12,21; plural emphatic נַיָּא- Ezra 6:9,16,18; Ezra 7:16,24; suffix (of Israel) נ֫וֺהִי- Ezra 7:13.

Topical Lexicon
Definition and Scope of the Term

The word designates a person who stands before God on behalf of others, entrusted with sacred service. While the vast majority of its roughly 750 occurrences refer to the Aaronic line, Scripture also applies the term to:

• Melchizedek, “a priest of God Most High” (Genesis 14:18).
• Egyptian and Midianite officiants (Genesis 41:45; Exodus 2:16).
• Pagan officials such as “the priests of Baal” (2 Kings 10:19) and “the priests who burned incense to the sun, the moon, constellations, and all the host of heaven” (2 Kings 23:5).

The breadth of usage underscores that priesthood is an office recognized across cultures, yet Israel’s priesthood is uniquely established by divine revelation.

Patriarchal and Pre-Sinai Context

Before the covenant at Sinai, heads of families acted as priests, offering sacrifices (Job 1:5) and building altars (Genesis 8:20; Genesis 12:7‐8). The appearance of Melchizedek foreshadows a royal-priestly order later fulfilled in Messiah (Psalm 110:4).

Institution of the Aaronic Priesthood

Exodus 28–29 records the formal appointment of Aaron and his sons. “Take Aaron your brother, and his sons with him… so that they may minister as priests to Me” (Exodus 28:1). Their calling is confirmed by:

• Divine choice (Numbers 17:5).
• Covenantal promise of perpetual service (Numbers 25:13).
• Genealogical succession—only male descendants of Aaron, free from ceremonial defect (Leviticus 21:17-23).

Consecration Rites

Consecration spanned seven days (Leviticus 8–9):

1. Washing with water.
2. Vesting in holy garments.
3. Anointing with sacred oil (Exodus 30:30).
4. Blood applied to right ear, thumb, and big toe, signifying attentiveness, service, and walk.
5. Inaugural sacrifices culminating in fire from the Lord (Leviticus 9:24).

Sacred Garments

• Linen tunic, sash, and turban for every priest (Exodus 28:39-41).
• The high priest additionally wore the ephod, breastpiece with twelve stones, robe of the ephod, and plate of pure gold engraved “Holy to the LORD” (Exodus 28:36).

Garments symbolized holiness and mediated acceptance (Exodus 28:38).

Daily and Festal Ministries

• Morning and evening tamid offerings (Exodus 29:38-42).
• Maintenance of the altar fire and lampstand (Leviticus 6:12-13; Exodus 27:20-21).
• Presentation of incense (Exodus 30:7-8).
• Trumpeting over sacrifices and in battle (Numbers 10:8-10).
• Central roles at Passover, Day of Atonement, and other appointed times (Leviticus 16; Numbers 28–29).

Mediatory Role and Sacrificial System

Priests handled sin, guilt, burnt, grain, and peace offerings (Leviticus 1–7), ensuring atonement and ceremonial purity for the people. “The priest will make atonement on his behalf, and he will be forgiven” (Leviticus 4:31).

Teaching and Judicial Functions

“Instruct the Israelites in all the statutes” (Leviticus 10:11). Priests taught Torah (Deuteronomy 33:10), decided cases of leprosy (Leviticus 13–14), tested marital fidelity (Numbers 5:11-31), and served as judges in difficult lawsuits (Deuteronomy 17:9).

Custodians of the Sanctuary

They guarded the Tabernacle perimeter with the Levites (Numbers 3:10) and later supervised Temple treasures (1 Chronicles 9:26). Unauthorized approach meant death (Numbers 3:38).

High Priest (Kohen Gadol)

Unique privileges:

• Entrance into the Holy of Holies once yearly with blood of atonement (Leviticus 16:11-17).
• Consultation of Urim and Thummim (Numbers 27:21).
• Perpetual presence of the golden plate on his forehead bearing Israel’s guilt (Exodus 28:38).

He bore heavier restrictions: no defilement for the dead, no unbound hair, and marriage only to a virgin of Israel (Leviticus 21:10-15).

Priestly Divisions and Organization

David arranged twenty-four courses (1 Chronicles 24). Each course ministered one week, rotating through the year, a structure retained after the exile (Nehemiah 12:1-7) and evident in New Testament times (Luke 1:5).

Holiness and Personal Conduct

Priests were to “distinguish between the holy and the common” (Leviticus 10:10). Drunkenness during service incurred death (Leviticus 10:9). Physical blemish did not annul priestly identity but restricted sanctuary service (Leviticus 21:16-23).

Provision and Inheritance

Priests received tithes, portions of sacrifices, firstfruits, redemption money, and forty-eight Levitical cities with common pasturelands (Numbers 18; Joshua 21). “The LORD is their inheritance” (Deuteronomy 18:2).

Historical Challenges and Reforms

• Nadab and Abihu’s unauthorized fire (Leviticus 10:1-3).
• Eli’s sons, “worthless men” who despised offerings (1 Samuel 2:12-17).
• Jeroboam’s non-Levitical priests at high places (1 Kings 12:31).
• Hezekiah and Josiah’s reforms restored priestly purity (2 Chronicles 29; 2 Kings 23).
• Post-exilic priests renewed covenant fidelity amid genealogical scrutiny (Ezra 2:62; Nehemiah 7:64-65).

Prophetic Evaluation and Future Hope

Prophets denounced corrupt priests (Jeremiah 2:8; Malachi 1:6-10) yet foresaw faithful service in the coming age: “They will teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane” (Ezekiel 44:23). Zechariah merges crown and temple imagery, anticipating a Priest-King (Zechariah 6:13).

Typological Significance

The priesthood prefigures mediatory work consummated in Jesus Christ. “For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the word of the oath… appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever” (Hebrews 7:28). The system’s repeated sacrifices pointed to the one efficacious offering at Calvary.

Christ the Ultimate High Priest

Though “from the tribe of Judah, concerning which Moses spoke nothing about priests” (Hebrews 7:14), Jesus ministers “after the order of Melchizedek,” combining eternal kingship and priesthood. His intercession, once-for-all sacrifice, and heavenly sanctuary fulfill every function anticipated in the Aaronic office.

Priestly Principles for Believers

While the Levitical system ended with the cross (Hebrews 10:1-18), its truths illuminate Christian worship:

• Access to God secured by a perfect High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16).
• A holy calling to “offer your bodies as living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1).
• Corporate identity as “a royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9), mandated to proclaim God’s excellencies.
