In a controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge according to my judgments; they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall hallow my Sabbaths'—indicating that priests serve as judges in disputes and are responsible for maintaining covenant law and festival observance. The alignment of priestly judgment with God's judgments emphasizes that priestly decisions must reflect divine will. The specification of feasts and Sabbaths emphasizes the calendar function of priestly regulation. This verse identifies the judicial and regulatory priestly functions.
