Why re-post this now, today?
No reason.
No reason at all.

All of Levi, not just the priests, was responsible for the functioning and holiness of the Tabernacle. The Aaronic priests (the Kohanim) aren't allowed to cut the rest of Levi out of the Tabernacle service. God's anointing isn't subject to approval by anyone. No mortal can deny or diminish it. The Aaronic priesthood can't be earned, bought, or bestowed by men. Only the Kohanim may be priests and only the sons of Levi may serve in their support role. The punishment for pretending to be a genetic son of Aaron in the Temple is death.
The Kohanim were to oversee the Levites, but were also accountable to them. This is a good pattern for congregational leadership. Bishop oversees elders, but is accountable to them.
Numbers 18:1-7 #korach
Exodus 3;30, “And Aaron spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.” When Aaron was speaking the people, he told them exactly what the Creator had said. The future actions of the people give cause to wonder if they understood what Aaron told them. Were they able to hear what Aaron said or did they filter the things they didn’t want to hear and are we guilty of doing that? When someone speaks do we hear what they are saying or do we miss the words to hear only what we choose to hear? Make sure to listen carefully when the Creator speaks to you so you don’t spend years wandering around.
