The Prophets of the Old Testament and their roles to Protect and Correct the Children of Yacob.

The Prophets of the Old Testament and their Roles.

I Believe that the Prophets of the Bible were Chosen for a Specific Purpose and Specific Reason Most of the Prophets that were chosen were after the Age of 40 but, some of the Minor Prophets of the ages of 20 years old they were apprentices of the Major Prophets.

What reasons does the Bible give for why the tribe of Levi was chosen to have the priesthood and temple duties?

In Genesis 49:5-7 when Jacob was telling his children what will happen to them, he told Simeon and Levi that they were violent and that they would be scattered among the descendants of Yacob, and they would be dispersed among Israel. Could this have been something like a prophecy, and could this be the reason?

COURSE OF PRIESTS AND LEVITES. Because of the great increase in the number of priests, David divided them into twenty-four relays (1 Chron 24:1-19). The priests were expected to serve from twenty years of age (1 Chron 23:6, 27). Sixteen courses were allotted the descendants of Eleazar and eight to those of Ithamar, his brother. Apart from the main festivals, when all the courses were active, each course ministered for a week, changes being made on the Sabbath before the evening sacrifice (2 Kings 11:5, 9). Courses were determined by casting lots.

The Prophets were under Mostly of the Scribes and the Teachers of the Law under the High Priesthood were the ones that Chose the Prophets and the Minor Prophets. The High Priesthood had to a special offering and fasting for the Heavenly Father to Speak to The High Priest to order the chosen prophets. ***
