The first priest was Melchizedek.
Roman Catholic AnswerUnder the original covenant, the head of every family was a priest. Later, when things went awry with the golden calf at Sinai, another covenant was given and the priesthood was taken away from the family and given to Aaron. This is referred to as the Levitical Priesthood.The first priest that we meet in the Old Testament is, indeed, Melchizedek, a mysterious figure who offered bread and wine. He was not a Jew.
Under the New Covenant (of Jesus Christ), Jesus is the First, Last, and greatest priest of the new law.
