Only a Levite, of the priestly line of Aaron, could become high priest, enter into the Holy of Holies, and sprinkle blood on the mercy seat of the Ark. It is a little-known fact that Yeshua was more Levite than He was a Judean. This was accomplished by “the seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15). Mary, the mother of Yeshua, and Elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, were first cousins. Mary’s mother was the younger sister of Elisabeth’s mother. Both mothers were of the priestly lineage of Aaron (Luke 1:5).
