Psalms 99:6. Moses and Aaron were among His priests....

So, is Moses a priest then?

Also how was Moses rules on the Judge-ness? Since he Judged all of Israel?

Aaron is already a priest, but I agree, this seems to definitely confirm that Moses is a priest as well.

Hey, somebody at one time brought up the thought of eunuchs being an identifier, so maybe if there was a card created to give a male hero the indentifier of eunuch, then he would be half way there!

Moses was officially ruled not to be a Judge.

Let me guess who ruled that... oh I don't know a JUDGE? Those judges are such an elitist group, not allowing others in to join their party, no matter how qualified.

I left the party.

But not necessarily for that reason, although I use the Bible to overrule any game rule when I judged tournaments.

LOL. I for one WANT Moses to be a Judge. I was outvoted. It was decided to treat the Judges only in the familiar historical sense, as those who led Israel while they were in the Promised Land. Moses never made it that far...

However, I think we could expand the definition to include the leaders from the Exodus to the crowning of Saul. That would include Moses, Joshua, Othniel, Deborah, etc.

As for Moses being a Priest, he certainly was in some sense: the Bible says so, and he was a mediator between God and man. However, he was not technically in the priestly line. I don't think he performed any sacrifices, either. But in my mind, he's as much a priest as Melchizedek and Priests of Christ. So I'm happy either way.

Quote from: REG>Glossary of Terms>Judges

Judges
Samson’s Sacrifice says that if “used by a judge, negate and discard ….” Judges ruled over Israel after they crossed the Jordan River and arrived in Canaan but before the era of the kings. Their history is recorded in the book of Judges.

This is how judges are defined in Redemption. So they started with Joshua, and ended when Saul became king.

Also as far as his priesthood is concerned:

Quote from: REG>Glossary of Terms>JPriest

Priest
A priest is one who is duly authorized to minister in sacred things, particularly to offer sacrifices at the altar, and who acts as mediator between men and God. Priests are in charge of sacrifice and offering at worship places, particularly the tabernacle and Temple. Other functions are blessing the people, determining the will of God, and instructing the people in the law of God. The office of priest is hereditary.

Moses wouldn't fit this definition, but as Bryon pointed out, neither would Melchizedek, Priests of Christ, or Saint Patrick, yet they are Priests.I guess it'll ultimately be up to Rob.

Because they were afraid someone would argue from Acts 24:10 that a converted Governor Felix should be a Judge.

well, technically there could be an O.T. and a N.T. Moses, but there couldn't be both in one card, so...

I actually was trying to get him to be both at one time.

Actually, Moses COULD do all that, I'm not 100% sure on the sacrifices/offerings, but the rest he DID do.

Professoralstad · « **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2010, 03:05:06 PM »

I was referring to the sacrifices and offerings, which were clearly described as the duties of Aaron/Aaron's sons.

Wait, wait, wait! We have to have the Green/Gold Prophet/Judge version first! You know, the one that can use ALL the plagues with Moses' Rod.

THEN we can make the Green/Gold/Teal version only available with a $100 purchase from Covenant Games.

Could we buy a $100 worth of Moses' in order to get a Moses?

What Moses was when printed: O.T., Male, Human

What Moses should be: Judge, Prophet, Priest, Royalty, Musician, O.T., N.T., Human, Male
