Holy to You

Name Date

Read the Story

Leviticus 21 gives rules to Aaron's sons, the priests. They had a very holy job. They offered the bread of God at the altar. So they had to keep themselves holy.

Priests were careful about touching the dead, except for close family. They were careful about whom they married. The high priest had the strictest rules, because the anointing oil of his God was on him.

Priests with a physical defect could not offer at the altar. Their bodies were part of a picture of the perfect Priest to come. But God said they could still eat the holy bread. God cared for them. Jesus later welcomed the blind and the lame.

Leviticus 21 · Grade 4

A Holy Priesthood

Name Date

Read and Think

Leviticus 21 sets out rules for the priests. Because they offered the bread of their God, they must be holy to their God. They avoided touching the dead, except for close relatives. They married with care, so their families would honor God.

The high priest had even stricter rules. He was not to go near any dead body, not even his father or mother, because the crown of the anointing oil of his God was on him. He represented the people before God in a special way.

A priest with a physical defect could not offer at the altar, because the altar service pointed to a perfect Priest. Yet such a priest could still eat the most holy food. He belonged to God's priestly family. Hebrews teaches that Jesus is our perfect High Priest, and 1 Peter 2 calls all believers a royal priesthood.

Leviticus 21 · Grade 5

Priests Who Draw Near

Name Date

Read and Think

Leviticus 21 turns to those who served closest to God's presence. The priests, Aaron's sons, offered the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy to their God. Their mourning practices, their marriages, and their families were all to reflect the holiness of their calling. Israel was to treat them as holy, for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.

The high priest stood under even stricter rules. He could not uncover his head, tear his clothes, or go near any dead body, even for his father or mother, and he was not to leave the sanctuary in mourning. The crown of the anointing oil was on him. He was to marry an Israelite virgin, so that his offspring would not be profaned.

Verses 17 to 23 state that no descendant of Aaron with a physical defect could approach the altar to offer. This did not mean such a man was less valuable; the altar service was a visual picture of the perfect holiness required to approach God. Verse 22 is gracious: He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. He remained in the priestly family and shared its food. In Christ, the perfect High Priest without blemish (Hebrews 7:26), all who believe are welcomed, and Jesus healed the blind and lame who came to Him in the temple (Matthew 21:14).
