EXOD340 Priesthood of Israel's One God was thrown open to all that walk in His ways and who have made holiness their aim in life. This priesthood, attainable by all who so willed it, is to be illustrated and realized by Israel as "the Kingdom of priests and the holy nation" [this verse]. As "a holy nation", Israel's public and private life was one continuous consecration. Justice, truthfulness, solicitude for the weak, obedience and reverence for those in authority, regard for the rights of others, a forgiving and a candid spirit, aflame with love for men and consideration for beast, charity and humility--these are to be some of the characteristics flowering forth from the Jewish life dedicated to God.
