The Consecration of the Priesthood

The Consecration of the Priesthood The consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests of Israel takes place in Exodus 29. After giving the instructions regarding the construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25–27) and the priestly vestments (Exodus 28), the Lord gives the instructions on how to consecrate the priests for their office. God appoint his servants, consecrates them to do His will . To be consecrated as a priest, one did not need to aspire to join this profession since God himself called the people to serve Him as priests. Consecration happened on Mount Sinai soon after the deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

The sons of Jacob in Egypt When Jacob mentioned Egypt, his sons’ reaction betrayed their inner guilt. For 20 years, they had carried the burden of selling Joseph into slavery. Their faces revealed what words could not, the weight of conscience is visible in subtle expressions, and God often uses circumstances to confront our hidden sins. Jacob’s observed and asked his sons, why they were look at one another at the mention of the word Egypt. When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?” (Genesis 42:1). This captured both his concern and the irony of the situation. The famine, while a negative event, was part of God’s plan. Even the sons’ jealousy and selfishness, though morally wrong, became tools that ultimately preserved the family and provided sustenance for the nations. This illustrates how God can redirect human flaws and difficult circumstances toward a higher purpose.   Jealousy and hunger, led to a redempti...
