In Judaism, the Kohanim (singular Kohan or Kohen, whence the family name Cohen) are hereditary priests through paternal descent. These families are from the tribe of the Levi'im (Levites) (whence the family name Levy), and are traditionally accepted as the descendants of Aaron.
During the times of the two Jewish Temples in Jerusalem, they were responsible for daily and special Jewish holiday offerings and sacrifices within the temples known as the korbanot. Since the demise of the Second Temple, it has been the rabbis who became the most im ...

| | | | Priest - In Judaism: Encyclopedia II - Priest - In Christianity In the Christian context, some confusion is caused for English speakers by two different Greek words traditionally translated as priest. Both occur in the New Testament, which draws a distinction not always observed in English.
The first, presbyteros (πρεσβυτερος), Latin presbyter, is traditionally translated priest and the English word priest is indeed etymologically derived from this word; literally, it means elder, and is used in neutral and non-religious contexts in Gr ...

| | | | Priest - In Judaism: Encyclopedia - Kohen A Kohen (or Cohen, Hebrew "priest", pl. Kohanim or Cohanim), assumed to be a direct male descendant of the Biblical Aaron, brother of Moses, has a distinct personal status within Judaism.
Kohen - The high priest.
Kohen - Biblical data.
Aaron, though he is but rarely called "the great priest," being generally simply designated "as ha-kohen" (the priest), was the first incumbent of the office, to which he was appointed by God (Ex. xxviii. 1, 2; xxix. 4, 5). Th ...

| | | | Priest - In Judaism: Encyclopedia II - Kohen - Importance of pedigree Later Judaism enforced rigidly the laws relating to the pedigrees of priests, and even established similar requirements for the women they married. Proof of a spotless pedigree was necessary for admission to priestly service. Anyone unable to establish their status as a Kohen was excluded from the priesthood.
Unless a woman's pedigree was known to be unimpeachable, a Kohen, before marrying her, was required to examine it for four generations on both sides, in case she was of priestly lineage; for five ...

| | | | Priest - In Judaism: Encyclopedia II - Kohen - Division into work groups Not all Kohanim (priests) worked at the same time; they were divided into twenty-four groups. This is mentioned in Chronicles; this practice continued down to the destruction of the Second Temple, as statements to this effect by Josephus ("Ant." vii. 14, § 7; "Vita", § 1) and the Talmudic sources show.
These "divisions" of priests took turns in weekly service. Those who served changed every Shabbat (Sabbath), but on the Biblical fe ...

Kohen - Biblical data.
Aaron, though he is but rarely called "the great priest," being generally simply designated "as ha-kohen" (the priest), was the first incumbent of the office, to which he was appointed by God (Ex. xxviii. 1, 2; xxix. 4, 5). The succession was to be through one of his sons, and was to remain in his own family (Lev. vi. 15; comp. Josephus, "Ant." xx. 10, § 1). Failing a son, the office devolved upon the brother next of age: such appears to have been the practise in the Maccabean period. In t ...

Kohen - Historic and present-day Orthodox Judaism view.
Such marriages are regulated by a number of special restrictions in addition to the general laws covering all Israelites. The Torah prohibits a Kohen from marrying women of certain specified categories: A divorcee, a "defiled" woman, or a "harlot". It ordains that any Kohen who makes such a marriage loses his priestly status while in that marriage. Note that the Kohen is not allowed to "choose to forgo his status" ...

They are also referred to in the prayerbooks of Conservative Judaism, in an abbreviated fashion.

Clergy - Catholic clergy.
Ordained Catholic clergymen are deacons, priests, or bishops, i.e., they belong to the diaconate, the presbyterate, or the episcopate. Among bishops, some are metropolitans, archbishops, or patriarchs, and the Pope is the Bishop of Rome. With rare exceptions, cardinals are bishops, although it was not always so; formerly, some cardinals were unordained laymen and not clergymen. The Holy See supports the activity of its clergy by the Congregation for th ...

| | | | Priest - In Judaism: Encyclopedia II - Kohen - Rules protecting against ritual defilement The Kohanim formed a holy order. For the purpose of protecting them against all ritual profanation and defilement they were to follow many rules.
Kohanim were forbidden to come in contact with dead bodies, except in the case of their nearest kin, nor were they permitted to perform the customary mourning rites. A Kohen is forbidden to enter any house or enclosure, or approach any spot, where a dead body, or part of a dead body, may be found. (Lev. x. 6, xxi. 1–5; Ezek. xliv. 20, 25).
A Kohen is forbidden to touc ...

| | | | Priest - In Judaism: Encyclopedia II - Kohen - Kohanim in contemporary times
Kohen - Orthodox Jewish views.
Since the end of the Temple in Jerusalem, the Kohen has little formal rule in Jewish life. The one area in which the Kohen still has a formal and public ceremonial comes in the area of the aliyah, the ritual reading of the Torah during prayer services. Three times each week a portion from the Torah is read aloud in front of the congregation, in the original Hebrew, and this reading is split into a number of portions. It is customary to reserve the first reading of the Torah for a Kohen, and the second reading of the Torah for a Levite. In the Orthodox Jewish ...
