Category:Priesthood (subject)
In ancient Israel priesthood was inherited by birth. There were priestly families, who were regarded as descendants of the patriarch Levi.
After the destruction of the Temple, the Pharisees concluded that the obedient to the Torah had replaced the sacrifices in the Temple and the priesthood was no longer necessary, until the end of time. The authority of the priests was replaced by the authority of the rabbis.
The "biblical" Priesthood was preserved by the Samaritans, a group of Israelite living in Northern Israel (Samaria) who had separated from the Temple community of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Today, the Samaritans are still performing the ancient rituals led by an hereditary priesthood.
