Rambam - Hilchot Beit Habechirah 8:5b

The Laws of God's Chosen House

In past Episode we learned about the role played by the Junior Cohanim in the Beit HaMikdash Honour Guard. This included the details of the Upper-Level Chambers in which they were stationed when they took up their positions.

In the current Episode we'll focus on the Elder Cohanim, and the semi-sacred "Chamber of the Hearth" area in which they fulfilled their version of this sacred watch.

We will also learn about the responsibility vested in the hands of these elder Cohanim to ensure that the Adults Maintain Control by Keeping the Keys in Possession!
