Called by God Alone
Commentators unanimously emphasize that the priesthood is not a human office to be taken, but a divine calling. John Calvin connects this directly to Hebrews 5:4, noting that just as Aaron was chosen by God, so was Christ. This shows that access to God and reconciliation are based on His sovereign mercy, not human ambition or merit.
