VERSE: Gn47-22a

RULE: The word PRIEST can literally mean PRIEST or it can
broadly mean a DISTINGUISHED PERSON. The rules governing
this are presented below with examples.


EXAMPLES
--------
------------------------------------------------------------
    The phrase PRIEST OF always means a distinguished person
    as in
------------------------------------------------------------
(1)    Gn41-45 Distinguished person of OON *1
(2)    Ex03-01 Distinguished person of Midyan



---------------------------------------------------------
    The phrase PRIEST (without the word OF) usually means
    PRIEST as in
---------------------------------------------------------
(3)    Jer06-13 "From prophet to Priest they are corrupt"
(4)    Lv06-16 "All mincha offerings of the priest..."


--------------------------------------------------------------
    If however the context warrants it the word PRIEST without
    the word OF can mean distinguished person as in
--------------------------------------------------------------
(5)    Ex19-06 And you will be for me a kingdom of priests*1
