Attention Gentiles: According to Maimonides, Non-Jewish Goyim Can Be Holy Non-Jewish Priests

“In the words of the Rambam:  Not only the tribe of Levi, but each and every individual human being, whose spirit moves him, whose knowledge gives him understanding to set himself apart in order to stand before the Lord to serve Him, to worship Him, and to know Him, who walks upright as God created him to do, and releases him from the yoke  of the many foolish considerations which trouble people – such an individual is as consecrated as the Holy of Holies, and his portion and his inheritance shall be in the Lord forever and ever.  The Lord will grant him adequate sustenance in the world just as He granted to the priests and to the Levites.  Thus did David, peace be upon him, say, “O, Lord, the portion of my inheritance and of my cup, You maintain my lot.”
