We live in a sin-stained world just as the Israelites did as they wandered in the wilderness. Our world bears similarities to and, at the same time, differences from theirs. One dissimilarity concerns the priesthood and all that it entailed. This institution seems strange to us. Yet this is the Word of God, and in this lesson we pay attention to the priesthood in detail, in order that we may learn how these specifics point to our Great High Priest, Jesus Christ.
