  • Describe the garb the high priest of Israel was to wear. Why was the high priest to be clothed like this?
  • Why was animal blood to be applied to the altar and to the priests?
  • What did all of this communicate to Israel, and through them, to the world, regarding the way that God would open up for man to have a right relationship with him through the Messiah?
  • Though Christ was foreshadowed by the priests of the Old Covenant, he did not descend from them. He descended from Melchizedek instead (Hebrews 5-7). Why is this important?
