For the distinction between priests (sons of Zadok) and Levites (formerly priests of: the high places). In the Priests' Writing this distinction is thoroughly carried out and incorporated into a well-devised system, in which post-exilic circumstances are as a matter of course everywhere implied. The following are the main features of this system. Theoretically all Israel ought to perform priestly service. To say nothing, however, of other conditions, the requisite Levitical purity could not be ...maintained by all, and Jahweh therefore prescribed a substitute in the form of the " Sons of Aaron/' i. E. , the priesthood hereditary in certain definite families. The tracing all these back to Aaron, or to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, was evidently intended to enlarge the circle of the " Sons of Zadok. " Reasons which we cannot ascertain must have made the recognition of some non- Zadokites inevitable. As the Zadokites were derived from Eleazar so were these others from Ithamar. If exacting demands were made on the ordinary priests with regard to their Levitical purity, much more were they on their head, the high priest (also a hereditary official).
