Re: Contradiction 3: Qualifications for Priesthood
This verse, and the verses surrounding it, is speaking of who is to guard the Ark of the Covenant, not a general qualification for priesthood.
kbertsche writes:
According to the Old Testament, priests of Israel were exclusively from the tribe of Levi (who was one of the sons of Jacob):
Num 3:6-10
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.
... You are to assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they will be assigned exclusively to him out of all the Israelites.
So you are to appoint Aaron and his sons, and they will be responsible for their priesthood; but the unauthorized person who comes near must be put to death.

Re: Contradiction 3: Qualifications for Priesthood
You seem to be pulling something out of that verse that isn't necessarily there. Are you inferring that since Levites were made priests to guard the ark because moses only wanted priests guarding it, that this must be the case for the rest of Isreal priesthood?

Re: Contradiction 3: Qualifications for Priesthood
I was just pointing out that that particular verse does not state what you claim it does.
While a good majority of Israel's high priests are of Aaronic descent, not all are. Menalaus being one of them that is not.

No. What I said was:

That verse alone does not say anything more than at that particular time, in the wilderness of sinai, that tribe of Levi are to report to Aaron to watch over the ark.
Don't try and put words in my mouth.

Re: Contradiction 3: Qualifications for Priesthood
Now you are cherrypicking MY comments even though that particular comment you refer to is irrelevant to the OP, and you are taking out of context of what I said.
At any rate, no, I can't say that I "agree that there was no other priesthood, tho'" as I am not a biblical scholar and have not done a thorough research on the history of Israel's priesthood to make such a claim.
