Bible Question: Is the reason god chose the Levites to be the high priest because they were the only tribe not to worship the golden calf or is it because of Jacobs prophesy in Genesis 49:5. I know Aaron built the calf but that doesnt mean he worshiped it, just like jesus turned water to wine but in John ch 2, it never says he drank any of it.

Bible Answer: Hello,

The quick answer is that they were priests because God chose Aaron to do that earlier in Exodus than the golden calf incident.

When that happened, the tribe of Levi executed God's wrath on the people for their sin, so they were ordained to the work of service for their zeal.
