The organization of the Hebrew camp taught two concepts that are keys to understanding the plan of salvation. First, God is holy and distant from sin. While He seems within reach, there is a barrier that keeps us from a direct encounter. Second, God has done everything possible to be with us. While a barrier existed in the Hebrew camp, God had instituted a means by which He could be near His people. The priests played a key role as the conduit through which God reached across the sin barrier to sinful people. Their role of mediation pointed forward to the True Mediator, who is Jesus.
(see Hebrews 10:18-23, Romans 8:37-39, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21)
