“Save those special clothes that were made for Aaron. Those clothes will belong to all his people who live after him. They will wear those clothes when they are chosen to be priests.
You threw out the Lord’s priests, the descendants of Aaron. And you threw out the Levites. Then you chose your own priests, just like every other nation on earth. And now, any person that will bring a young bull and seven rams can become a priest! A priest to serve those ‘No-gods’.
The people of Israel will always give Aaron and his sons these parts. Those parts will always belong to the priests when the people of Israel make an offering to the Lord. When they give these parts to the priest, it will be the same as giving them to the Lord.
Aaron’s son will become the next high priest after him. That son will wear those clothes seven days when he comes to the Meeting Tent [274] to serve in the Holy Place. [275]
Anoint the sons in the same way that you anointed their father. Then they can also serve me as priests. When you anoint them, they will become priests. That family will continue to be priests for all time to come.”
“So the man chosen to be the high priest will do the ceremony to make things pure. [301] This is the man appointed to serve as high priest after his father. That priest must put on the holy linen clothes.
Then the Lord said to Aaron, “I myself gave you responsibility over all the special gifts people give to me. All the holy [235] gifts that the people of Israel give to me, I give to you. You and your sons can share in these gifts. They will always belong to you.
If the community decides to protect the killer from the dead man’s family, then the community must take him back to his city of safety. And the killer must stay there until the official high priest [389] dies.
