Tzav
Description
The Portion name comes from the first word or words of the portion in Torah. This week the Torah Portion
name is Tzav. This translates to "Command".
Torah - Lev 6:1-8:36 (KJV 6:8 - 8:36)
Haftarah - Jer 7:21-8:3; 9:22-23 (KJV 9:23-24)
Brit Chadashah - Heb 8:1-6
Psalm - 25, 79, 121
Extra Reading - Mark 3-4
Let us give attention to Hebrews 8:1-6. My question from this scripture reading is are there still Levitical Priests today?
Hebrews 8:1-6 NKJV - 1 Now [this is] the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore [it is] necessary that this One also have something to offer. 4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See [that] you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Other scripture beginning from the TaNaK may be used or employed to answer this question.
Shalom.
