Aharon was constantly involved in offering sacrifices. Why was he
distressed in not having a part in the korbanot of the Nesi’im?
Additionally, what is meant by the statement, “Your role is greater than
theirs”?

Aharon was afraid that the fact that Shevet Levi did not participate in the
korbanot of the Nesi’im indicated a deficiency in the unity of the Twelve
Shevatim, ultimately resulting in a breach in the achdut of Am Yisrael as
a whole. Furthermore, he was afraid that lack of inclusion in the korbanot
of the Nesi’im indicated Hashem’s displeasure for the part he had played
in the Chet Ha’egel. bamidbar 5 # 26347-EYAL-6
