25 Different Groups Of Priests
Shared By Mark Flippo
READ EXODUS CHAPTER 24 all
In the art above it shows the constant arguments they had about their duties. Yehovah tells Moses that he, Aharon and his two sons Nadav and Avihu, and 70 of the leaders (probably the chief Elders of Israel), were the only ones that could approach God. We cannot be sure whether the number 70 is precise or is symbolic; because in Hebrew literature rounded numbers like this are often symbolic. It could be that 70 is the real number at the same time it is symbolic or totality of comprehensiveness.
That is, this group represents Israel completely. All are to bow down lowly, at a distance. Likely, this meant that they were not to cross the boundary lines carefully marked with a stone fence, that separated the Holy Mountain where God was, from the valley floor; only Mosheh was to cross that boundary and step foot on Mt. Sinai. This is NOT at the traditional site of Mt. Sinai on the Sinai Peninsula, but rather at a site in Arabia more probable the site of the Mountain of God…and, the location where St. Paul, Philo, Josephus, and others said the Holy Mountain was located
Moshe went up, and when he came back down, it was with instructions from Jehovah to recite again all the rulings God had given to Israel, that we see listed in Exodus chapters 19-23. The purpose was to present the TERMS of the covenant to the people; and they responded, “we will obey”.
This was standard operating procedure for ratifying a covenant in those days. Each tribe had a calling from God Himself! What is your calling? I hope you have learned by their bad example. Talk to God about every issue. Let Him decide and you can live a calm life!
