The levites were priests in the Old Testament and people came to them if they had any pro

plem and also any skin disease.

this is true but incomplete the role of the priest in those days was to teach the decrees to the people that god had given to moses. the priest in those times acted as a mediator between god and the people that is why when sin was committed the people had to go to the priest with a lamb or a heifer to be sacrificed to cover their sin, this was before Christ came and was made the final sacrificial lamb for all sin of man kind. the priest also presented the people offerings to god . free willing offerings, first fruit offerings, one tenth offering so that god would blessed them etc. the priest gave counsel to the people to what ever disputes that may have occurred as well as wise counsel to the kings of Israel they were able to pronounced who was clean and unclean in cases such as leprosy. and they protected the ark of covenant.

in conclusion the priest represented god, this was to be in holiness and righteousness and they had to lead lives of exemplary before the children of Israel
