Your confusing elders with priests.

No, I'm aware of the differences, but thank you.

Priests were Old Testament figures who prepared the animal sacrifices. Elders are much different.

True, and as the Levitical priests oversaw the animal sacrifices, we as a priesthood are called to present spiritual sacrifices to God in the form of our words and actions (Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 13:15-16; 1 Peter 2:5).

Also, for clarification, not everyone is an elder; it's an appointed position.
