Commentary on Hebrews 5:4
The divine calling ('called of God') distinguishes legitimate priesthood from self-appointment. Aaron represents the OT pattern where God sovereignly chose priests from Levi's tribe. No one could presume to take this honor upon himself. This principle establishes that priestly ministry requires divine appointment, not human ambition or qualification, pointing to Christ's superior appointment.
