[edit] Summary

All priests were provided special garments, but those of Aaron were even more distinctive. A girdle and breastplate in which was inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and in the breastplate, a pouch of Urim and Thummin, used to ascertain the will of God in some matters. Additionally, a turban with a plate of gold inscribed, "Holy to the Lord." Aaron was chief mediator between Israel and God. All priests were anointed with oil, but the anointing of Aaron and his sons differed from ordinary priests (Ex. 29:7, 40:12-15; Lv. 8:12). Because priesthood was hereditary, all subsequent priests had to trace their ancestry to Aaron and the Levites.[1]
