(דברים יח ה) **כִּי בוֹ בָחַר ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִכָּל שְׁבָטֶיךָ** – מַגִּיד שֶׁאֵין שֵׁרוּת כָּשֵׁר בּוֹ אֶלָּא מֵעוֹמֵד; הָא אִם יָשַׁב וְשֵׁרֵת – עֲבוֹדָתוֹ פְּסוּלָה.

(Devarim 18:5) "For in him (the Cohein) did the L-rd your G-d choose from all of your tribes to stand to serve in the name of the L-rd": We are hereby taught that his service is valid only standing, and if he sat and served, his service is invalid.
