The priestly covenant is the biblical covenant that God gave to Aaron and his descendants, the Aaronic priesthood, as found in the Hebrew Bible and Oral Torah.
The covenant is portrayed as everlasting and Halachically applicable notwithstanding the removal of the "five articles of honor" prior to the destruction of the First Temple, and most priestly duties, including Korban offerings- with the destruction of the Second Temple.
In the Torah, the covenant is cited as being compared to salt and is called "a covenant of salt forever" , or "a statute forever". In Midrashic sources the priestly covenant is one of five everlasting covenants.
