Although you did not attach options for this question we can say the following.

The everyday life of a priest in the time of Ancient Egyptian society was something like this.

Priests were educated and prepared since they were young. They dedicated their lives to contemplation and service of the gods, working in ancient temples.

Every day, priests worked in these temples praying, presenting offerings to the many gods the Egyptians had, and being ready to follow the will of the pharaoh, who was considered to be the representative of the gods here on earth.

The pharaoh named a higher priest in the temples and they coordinated all the activities, rituals, and ceremonies. Being a high priest had many benefits, being one of these the closeness to the great pharaoh.

Priests had to shave their heads a sign of respect to the gods. They had to take daily showers to purify themselves, anointed themselves with a special oil, and wear their special ceremonial clothes during a typical day to accomplish their responsibilities.
