Even the name Israel - which was a name given to Jakob by God became a name to refer to all his descendents. Then the names of the 12 tribes (up to 14 depending on how you count) - were taken from the names of Jakobs 12 sons (+ 2 of Josephs sons which are also given tribal status). The "Levitical Priesthood" is literally named after Levi - one of Joakobs sons. Aaron - is a descendant of Levi. His great grandson. So levitical priesthood is also itself an example | |
