'Priests' in the Bible

For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:

who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect.

These arrangements having long been completed, the priests, when conducting the divine services, continually enter the outer tent.

For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.
