And the priests shook their pshent-bearing heads and vowed it would be the death of his soul.
Of these things was Carter warned by the priests Nasht and Kaman-Thah in the cavern of flame, but still he resolved to find the gods on unknown Kadath in the cold waste, wherever that might be, and to win from them the sight and remembrance and shelter of the marvellous sunset city.

The high priest, under the law, on the great day of atonement, which occurred once a year, on the tenth day of the seventh month, made a solemn atonement, first for the sins of himself and his house, and then for the iniquities of the children of Israel.
The washing of the flesh denoted his purity as high priest; the holy linen garments, the holiness of his human nature; the blood, his atoning blood shed upon the cross; and the incense, his meritorious intercession.
In the typical intercession of the high priest, on the great day of atonement, it was not his vocal prayers which prevailed with God, for of them no mention was made or commandment given, but the blood of the sacrifice and the smoke of the incense.

At the farther end was a high stone dais reached by five steps; and there on a golden throne sat a lumpish figure robed in yellow silk figured with red and having a yellow silken mask over its face.

 OUTLINE: MATTHEW CHAPTER 1
The gist of the argument in these verses is that though it is a high honor for the Jewish high priests to perform their many priestly duties, Melchizedek enjoyed a far higher honor in being acknowledged as a priest by Abraham, the patriarch, himself.
The prediction that a perpetual priest was to arise after the order of Melchizedek is a proof of the inferiority of the priesthood that came after it.
The word "daily" used here concerning the Aaronic high priest's sacrifices for his own sins, just does not fit into reality unless it is meant simply to refer to the repeatedness of the act.

What only the high priest of Israel could do once a year, every Christian may do every moment of his or her earthly life.

 Thomas P. Rausch: What Is Dominican Priesthood?
The priesthood of a parish priest or pastor is very different from that of a monk or a religious priest belonging to an apostolic order.
It describes the responsibility of the ordained monk whose life is devoted to the opus Dei, the cathedral canon who has responsibility for the liturgical and sacramental ministry of a major church, as well as the parish pastor or priest who presides over the liturgical and sacramental life of a local congregation.
The preaching mission was derived from the exempt character of the order's priests as evangelical assistants to the bishops and the pope, rather than from the responsibility of bishops and pastors to preach or to see that sermons were preached in their churches.

It is possible that he succeeded his father as High Priest of Letopolis during the latter's lifetime.

 Northwestern Chronicle: 'We want you' - to shut up
Many high schools, for example, lawfully release private information on their students to colleges, testing services, class ring companies, and yearbook publishers without the consent of parents each year.
As a result, ETHS is the only high school in the area that is still not in accordance with federal law, and recruiters have become increasingly frustrated with what they see as ETHS's non-compliance.
And of equal but more local importance, Evanston Township High School intends to be keep the new federal money to the benefit of its students by being in full compliance with the NCLB Act within the next month...

 What the crisis is not
In the Letter to the Ephesians, Saint Paul describes the relationship of Christ, the eternal high priest, to his Church as the relationship of a spouse to a beloved bride: Christ the redeemer gives himself to his spouse freely, unreservedly, faithfully, and unto death.
The sexual molestation of young children is the most revolting aspect of the broader problem of clergy sexual abuse — as the failure of bishops to deal effectively with this dimension of the crisis is one of the most incomprehensible aspects of the broader problem of the failure of episcopal leadership.
Pedophile priests — in the classic sense of men who habitually abuse prepubescent children — are not the majority of clerical sexual abusers; they are, in fact, a small minority of malfeasant clergy, although they are arguably the most loathsome form of the clerical sexual predator.

 Did the High Priest really enter the Holy of Holies with a rope tied around his ankle?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
In a Bible study covering the feasts, a question arose regarding the cord tied around the high priest during Yom Kippur when he would enter the Holy of Holies.
As long as the priests outside could hear them tinkling, they would know the High Priest was still alive.
The Bible is not explicit about this eventuality, but the practical solution supposedly contrived by the ancients was to tie a cord around the priest's ankle just in case.

The only way a Jewish High Priest and King could be combined into one office is by the order of Melchizedek, and not the Levitical order.
