The Levitical priests were sanctified for service in an eight day ceremony. 8 = new beginnings, new creatures, new role. The eighth day represents one step beyond the natural world and into the supernatural. (Remember that creation was completed in 7 days.)
Once sanctified, the Cohanim (priests) were no longer private citizens, but public resources with a responsibility to God and Nation.

So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God need to establish a different priesthood, with a priest in the order of Melchizedek instead of the order of Levi and Aaron?
