Bible Note: The reference you gave in Numbers refers to the levites not the actual priest. The priesthood is from the house of Aaron not the house Kohath. Both are from the tribe Levi, but only Aaron and his sons can hold the priesthood. Besides Jesus is not a priest after the order of Aaron but after the order of Melchizedech. There is great deal of difference between the two. See Heb. 5:6, 8-10; and especailly Heb 7:11-28. |
