Ex. 19:5      Ex. 19:7

Exodus 19:6

And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests (Hebr. kohanim) and a holy nation [set apart for a mission].' [Ex. 12:1–3]
This is what you shall say to the Israelites."
[The expression "kingdom of priests" is unique here in the entire Old Testament (although the language is similar in Isa. 61:6). The word kingdom presupposes a king, which is the Lord himself. A priest (Hebr. kohen; plural kohanim) has the meaning of one who serves a superior. The Israelites have a mission to be God's representatives to the world, see Ex. 19:5. This interpretation is also supported by how the phrase is used in the New Testament, see 1 Pet. 2:9; Rev 1:6. The first priest (kohen) mentioned in the Old Testament is Melchizedek, see Gen. 14:18. The word is also used for priests, see Gen. 41:45; Ex. 3:1; 1 Kings 4:5.]
