Ezekiel 44:4-16

4Then broughtH935 he me the wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 beforeH6440 the houseH1004: and I lookedH7200, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068: and I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440. 5And the LordH3068 saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, markH7760 wellH3820, and beholdH7200 with thine eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with thine earsH241 all that I sayH1696 unto thee concerning all the ordinancesH2708 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and all the lawsH8451 thereof; and markH7760 wellH3820 the entering inH3996 of the houseH1004, with every going forthH4161 of the sanctuaryH4720.12 6And thou shalt sayH559 to the rebelliousH4805, even to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GodH3069; O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, let it sufficeH7227 you of all your abominationsH8441, 7In that ye have broughtH935 into my sanctuary strangersH5236H1121, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, to be in my sanctuaryH4720, to polluteH2490 it, even my houseH1004, when ye offerH7126 my breadH3899, the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, and they have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285 becauseH413 of all your abominationsH8441.3 8And ye have not keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of mine holy thingsH6944: but ye have setH7760 keepersH8104 of my chargeH4931 in my sanctuaryH4720 for yourselves.4

9Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GodH3069; No strangerH5236H1121, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, nor uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, shall enterH935 into my sanctuaryH4720, of any stranger that is amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 10And the LevitesH3881 that are gone away farH7368 from me, when IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582, which went astray awayH8582 from me afterH310 their idolsH1544; they shall even bearH5375 their iniquityH5771. 11Yet they shall be ministersH8334 in my sanctuaryH4720, having chargeH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004, and ministeringH8334 to the houseH1004: they shall slayH7819 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 unto them. 12Because they ministeredH8334 unto them beforeH6440 their idolsH1544, and caused the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to fallH4383 into iniquityH5771; therefore have I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 against them, saithH5002 the LordH136 GodH3069, and they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.5 13And they shall not come nearH5066 unto me, to do the office of a priestH3547 unto me, nor to come nearH5066 to any of my holy thingsH6944, in the most holyH6944 place: but they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639, and their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213. 14But I will makeH5414 them keepersH8104 of the chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, for all the serviceH5656 thereof, and for all that shall be doneH6213 therein.

15But the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of my sanctuaryH4720 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582 from me, they shall come nearH7126 to me to ministerH8334 unto me, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 me to offerH7126 unto me the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, saithH5002 the LordH136 GodH3069: 16They shall enterH935 into my sanctuaryH4720, and they shall come nearH7126 to my tableH7979, to ministerH8334 unto me, and they shall keepH8104 my chargeH4931.
