PRIEST, (The function he served was superior to that of other priests)

=>Distribute the plunder of war

Numbers 31:26-29

26. Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the PRIEST, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

27. And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

28. And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

29. Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the PRIEST, for an heave offering of the LORD.
