EXODUS 29:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.”
And put headbands on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons. The priestly office will be theirs by a lasting ordinance. In this way you shall ordain Aaron and his sons. The installation of Aaron and his sons to the priestly office is declared a lasting ordinance — the same permanent status given to the Sabbath, the Passover, and the feast calendar. The Aaronic priesthood is not a temporary administrative arrangement but a covenant institution that will govern Israel's worship for generations. Hebrews 7:12 says when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also — the permanence of the Aaronic priesthood in Exodus 29:9 is precisely what the author of Hebrews argues has been superseded by the Melchizedekian priesthood of Christ.
