For other meanings, see
Cohen (disambiguation).A kohen (or cohen, Hebrew כּהן, "priest", pl. כּהנִים, kohanim or cohanim), is assumed to be a direct male descendant of the
Biblical Aaron, brother of
Moses. Another term for the descendants of Aaron are the Aaronites.During the existence of the
Temple in Jerusalem, kohanim performed specific duties vis-à-vis the daily and festival
sacrificial offerings. The
Kohen Gadol (High Priest) played a special role during the service of
Yom Kippur. Today, kohanim retain a distinct personal status within
Judaism and are still bound by special laws in
Orthodox and, to a lesser extent, in
Conservative Jewish communities.

About
Aaronites
the descendants of Aaron, and therefore priests. Jehoiada, the father of Benaiah, led 3,700 Aaronites as "fighting men" to the support of David at Hebron (1 Chr. 12:27). Eleazar (Num. 3:32), and at a later period Zadok (1 Chr. 27:17), was their chief.
