A Better Covenant

Aaron was a Levite and the chief Levite who would be the chief priest in the Isrealite days. The chief priest had the duties of tending to the Tabernacle and this was only a job for the Levites.

So Jesus would be called a high priest and obviously he wasnt a Levite so he was not qualified to be a Levitical priest. Because of this being present tense this means this system was still in affect and would be before the destruction of the temple in 70ad

Levi was Jacobs son. Aaron was a descendant of Levi

Moses and Aaron would go about the rescue out of Exodus. God gave the order of Chief Priest to Aaron on Mt. Sinia to Moses.

vs 5 Not to say that there is a tabernacle in Heaven but these orders came from God who in Heaven designed it to be this way

This covenant was designed this way as you have heard me speak of and as you have heard all these years. What would have made this a faultless covenant was a mediator. This mediator just could not have came yet because of Gods ultimate providence of His chosen people and the redeeming grace that would come through His son.

vs 6

A mediator is someone who is in the middle that helps or trys to resolve a conflict. Here the conflict was Gods chosen people not obeying His covenants and commandments. It wasnt Babylon or the Assyrians. It was directed at and towards Isreal. So therefore God opened up that gates for all and through His son the Mediator who would resolve these conflicts

vs 7

For if the first covenant had been faultless then there would have been no need for a second. The first covenant was just temporary
