  • God Calls Us a Holy Priesthood Exodus 28:1-29 Fall Old Testament Sermon Series on Exodus Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer November 16, 2014
    God Calls Us A Holy Priesthood Exodus 28:1-29 Fall Old Testament Sermon Series on Exodus Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer November 16, 2014 TEXT: Exodus 28:1-29 We continue this morning in our fall series on the Book of Exodus, and I want to remind you, as we look at this very sacred portion of Scripture, that the design of God's dwelling place and the description of the high priestly garments and their ministry is given seven times more space in the Bible than the creation of the world and of humanity. This is a sacred portion of Scripture where we learn of God's dwelling place, of the glory of that dwelling place, and of our call to be a kingdom of priests, a holy people belonging to God. This morning, we look at Exodus 28 were God calls us to be a holy priesthood. Last Sunday, we learned that God had promised to dwell among us and to speak with us as we gather in His name. I hope that is your expectation this morning, that God will both be here and speak to each and every one of us. We looked at the tabernacle as a portable Mount Sinai. Mount Sinai is that place of God's glorious dwelling: the splendor of the King on top of the mountain, and that grade of holiness where God is on the top of the mountain; the elders are in the middle; and the people are at the base of the mountain behind the altar of sacrifice.

  • Priests and Levites Martin C
    The New Testament: The Good News of Jesus Christ Priests and Levites Martin C. Albl, PhD In modern times, we think of a priest or a minister as a person who has a special calling or vocation to serve God and God’s people. In ancient Judaism, however, the priesthood was hereditary—the tribe of Levi was set aside to serve as priests. Aaron, Moses’ brother, a member of the tribe of Levi, was the first priest, and all his male descendants were priests (see Ex 28:1). The entire tribe of Levi was set apart to oversee the worship of God, at first in the dwelling that contained the Ark of the Covenant, and later in the Temple (see Nm 1:47– 54, 8:5–26; 1 Chr 24). Male members of the tribe who were not sons of Aaron were known as Levites. They acted primarily as assistants to the priests in conducting the worship of the Lord (see Nm 18:1–5). Because they had been set aside for this special task, members of the tribe of Levi did not inherit a portion of the land of Israel, nor were they to work the land. Priests and Levites were supported directly through activities of worship. Portions of the sacrifices provided food for the priests, and the Levites were supported by tithes (see vv. 8–21). These tithes were essentially on crops; the Levites in turn were to give a tenth of their tithes to the priests (see vv. 21–32). Within the priestly families, Zadokite priests (descendants of Zadok, a priest who had anointed and supported King Solomon against his rivals [see 1 Kgs 1:38–39]) held a special position.

  • THE CURIOUS GIRDLE of the EPHOD Ex
    THE CURIOUS GIRDLE OF THE EPHOD Ex. 28:5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. 6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work. 7 It shall have the two shoulder pieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together. 8 And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. What a strange description for this part of the high priest’s garment, - the curious girdle of the ephod. Yes, the language of the Authorised Version is particularly antiquated here but, I believe, justifiably so. The NKJV translates it “the intricately woven band of the ephod”; the NASV, RSV, NIV, “the skilfully woven band”; Young’s Literal Translation, “the girdle of his ephod”. … It is a particularly exact Hebrew word (bv,xe chesheb {khay'-sheb}) which means a girdle, a band, … truly ingenious work … and the word ‘curious’ whets our appetite to look more into it. This which the high priest only wore was called a golden ephod because much gold was woven into it. It was a short coat without sleeves, buttoned closely to him, with a curious girdle of the same material (vv.6- 8). The shoulder pieces were buttoned together with two precious stones set in gold, - one on each shoulder, - on which were engraven the names of the children of Israel (vv.9-12).

    Tzav Leviticus 6:1 - 8:36 This translation was taken from the JPS Tanakh Chapter 6 1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Command Aaron and his sons thus: This is the ritual of the burnt offering: The burnt offering itself shall remain where it is burned upon the altar all night until morning, while the fire on the altar is kept going on it. 3 The priest shall dress in linen raiment, with linen breeches next to his body; and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar. 4 He shall then take off his vestments and put on other vestments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 5 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning, not to go out: every morning the priest shall feed wood to it, lay out the burnt offering on it, and turn into smoke the fat parts of the offerings of well-being. 6 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar, not to go out. 7 And this is the ritual of the meal offering: Aaron's sons shall present it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 8 A handful of the choice flour and oil of the meal offering shall be taken from it, with all the frankincense that is on the meal offering, and this token portion shall be turned into smoke on the altar as a pleasing odor to the Lord. 9 What is left of it shall be eaten by Aaron and his sons; it shall be eaten as unleavened cakes, in the sacred precinct; they shall eat it in the enclosure of the Tent of Meeting.

  • A Hint of Halacha for Women in Parashat Vayikra, I Thought About the Importance of Accepting the Authority of the Kohanim As the Spiritual Leaders of Israel
    בס"ד Parashat Vayikra Why Can’t Women Be Kohanim? Korach’s Claim Against the Kohanim Keeps Reverberating Parashat Vayikra opens a new book in the Torah – the Book of Vayikra also called Torat Kohanim (The teachings of the Priests). This week’s parasha focuses on the different sacrifices and the kind of sins for which they atone. What is in it for women? I ask myself. In my struggle to find a hint of halacha for women in Parashat Vayikra, I thought about the importance of accepting the authority of the Kohanim as the spiritual leaders of Israel. Our current pandemic cries out for true spiritual leaders that can lead us into a paradigm shift of truly healing ourselves and the world. During the Exodus, when the Israelites made the Golden Calf, only the Levites refused to worship it. As a result, they were appointed Hashem’s servants. Of the members of the Levite tribe, those who were descended from Moshe’s brother, Aharon, became the Kohanim. Aharon was the first kohen, and also the first Kohen Gadol (high priest). Since biblical times, the Divine appointment of Aharon as the Kohen Gadol has been disputed. Korach’s claim, “You take too much upon yourselves, for the entire congregation are all holy, and Hashem is in their midst. So why do you raise yourselves above Hashem’s assembly?” (Bamidbar 16:3), is well-known. Unfortunately, this defiance of Jewish leadership reverberates in every generation, especially in our time. An article in Israel’s secular paper, Ha’aretz (January 27, 2018) titled The Intrusive Ways Israel Maintains the Purity of the Jewish Priestly Dynasty derides the authority of the Israeli Rabbinate and their rules which are intended to preserve the purity of the line of Kohanim.
