The Jewish (Hebrew) people were led by three distinct people or groups: the king, the Sanhedrin and the Kohen Gadol. (See also Deuteronomy ch.17.)

The king conducted the nation and made decisions in most matters but was not necessarily a Torah-authority.

The Sanhedrin (court of Sages) was the final authority on Torah-matters.

The Kohen Gadol conducted the observances in the Holy Temple, together with the assistance of the rest of the Kohanim and Levites (Numbers ch.8 and 18, Leviticus ch.21)
