The commandment to sanctify the progeny of Ahron (Hebrew "מצוות קידוש זרעו של אהרן") is a commandment based in the Hebrew Bible, and developed in rabbinical teaching that requires believers in Judaism to sanctify their priests (''kohanim'') in various ways. These include assisting him to abstain from any prohibitions in the Law that apply to him, and by affording him first rights in areas relating to holiness and the service of God. In the enumeration of Maimonides this is the 32nd positive commandment of the Law.〔Sefer HaMitzvoth of The Rambam, positive Mitvah #32, Smag positive command 171, Sefer ha-Chinuch, Mitzvah 269, Rambam Hilchot Kli HaMikdash ch. 4, Tur Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim, chapters 135, 167 and 201〕 In Hebrew the commandment is literally known as the ''mitzvah'' of sanctifying the "seed of Aaron" (Hebrew מצוות קידוש זרעו של אהרן). ==Hebrew Bible== At the time of the Jewish Exodus from Egypt, the sacrificial activity of the Jewish nation was conducted by the firstborn of Israel. After the sin of the Golden calf, God recounted the privilege of priesthood from the firstborn and gave it to Aaron, and his sons, as an everlasting priestly covenant. Generally, the duties of Kehuna are not restricted to sacrificial offerings alone but include various other forms of service to the nation of Israel. These forms of service include Torah instruction (Leviticus 10:10-11, Ezekiel 44:23-24) and managing ''tzaraath''(mildew and skin disease). Along with the commandment that God commanded Moses to confer the priesthood to Aaron came along the commandment which involves the participation of the nation of Israel in maintaining and creating a state of holiness and sanctification of their priests. Examples of this sanctification include assisting the priest in abstaining from forbidden marriages, to maintain a general state of purity, and to furnish the priest with gifts (later in rabbinical enumeration counted as twenty-four priestly gifts) to carry out his required duties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Mitzvah of sanctifying the Kohen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
