7A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God. 8You are to regard him as holy, since he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, because I the LORD am holy—I who set you apart. 9If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.
Chosen!
The Lord is holy and pure and since His chosen priests are an extension of Him they were “set apart” from everyone for God to perform the Lords work. Therefore their family must also be pure. From the priests offspring (males) came successor priests and if he married a harlot or divorced woman the Lord viewed it as corrupting the offspring, the line of priests.
“Then you who believe “ in Jesus Christ have also been chosen!
1 Peter 2: 9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Do you believe you are chosen?
Blessings, David
