Ezekiel 44:10-31

10But the LevitesH3881 whoH834 wentH7368 farH7368 from Me when IsraelH3478 wentH8582 astrayH8582, whoH834 1wentH8582 astrayH8582 from Me afterH310 their idolsH1544, shall 2bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for their iniquityH5771. 11Yet they shall be 3ministersH8334 in My sanctuaryH4720, having 4oversightH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 and 5ministeringH8334 in the houseH1004; they shall 6slaughterH7819 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall 7standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 to them. 12BecauseH3282H834 they ministeredH8334 to them 8beforeH6440 their idolsH1544 and becameH1961 a 9stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of iniquityH5771 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, thereforeH5921H3651 I have 1011swornH5375H3027 againstH5921 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “that they shall 12bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for their iniquityH5771. 13And they shall 13not comeH5066 nearH5066 to Me to serveH3547 as a priestH3547 to Me, norH3808 comeH5066 nearH5066 to anyH3605 of My holyH6944 thingsH6944, to the thingsH6944 that are mostH6944 holyH6944; but they will 14bearH5375 their shameH3639 and their abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213. 14Yet I will 15appointH5414 them 16to 17keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, of allH3605 its serviceH5656 and of allH3605 that shall be doneH6213 in it.

15“But the 18LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548, the sonsH1121 of 19ZadokH6659, whoH834 20keptH8104 chargeH4931 of My sanctuaryH4720 when the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 21wentH8582 astrayH8582 from Me, shall comeH7126 nearH7126 to Me to ministerH8334 to Me; and they shall 22standH5975 beforeH6440 Me to offerH7126 Me the 23fatH2459 and the bloodH1818,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 16“They shall 24enterH935 My sanctuaryH4720; they shall comeH7126 nearH7126 to My 25tableH7979 to ministerH8334 to Me and keepH8104 My chargeH4931. 17It shall be that when they enterH935 at the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691, they shall be clothedH3847 with 26linenH6593 garmentsH899; and woolH6785 shall not 27be on them while they are ministeringH8334 in the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691 and in the houseH1004. 18LinenH6593 28turbansH6287 shall be on their headsH7218 and 29linenH6593 undergarmentsH4370 shall be on their loinsH4975; they shall not girdH2296 themselves with anything which makes them sweatH3154. 19When they goH3318 out into the outerH2435 courtH2691, into the outerH2435 courtH2691 to the peopleH5971, they shall 30putH6584 offH6584 their garmentsH899 in whichH834 they have been ministeringH8334 and layH5117 them in the holyH6944 chambersH3957; then they shall putH3847 on otherH312 garmentsH899 soH3808 that they will 31not transmitH6942 holinessH6942 to the peopleH5971 with their garmentsH899. 20Also they shall 32not shaveH1548 their headsH7218, yet they shall not 33let their locksH6545 34growH7971 longH7971; they shall onlyH3697 trimH3697 the hair of their headsH7218. 2135NorH3808 shall anyH3605 of the priestsH3548 drinkH8354 wineH3196 when they enterH935 the innerH6442 courtH2691. 22And they shall not 36marryH3947 a widowH490 or a 37divorcedH1644 woman but shall 38takeH3947 virginsH1330 from the offspringH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or a widowH490 whoH834 is the widowH490 of a priestH3548. 23Moreover, they shall teachH3384 My peopleH5971 the 39difference betweenH996 the holyH6944 and the profaneH2455, and cause them to discernH3045 betweenH996 the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889. 24In a disputeH7379 40they shall takeH5975 their standH5975 to judgeH8199; they shall judgeH8199 it according to My ordinancesH4941. They shall also keepH8104 My lawsH8451 and My statutesH2708 in allH3605 My 41appointedH4150 feastsH4150 and 42sanctifyH6942 My sabbathsH7676. 254344They shall not goH935 to a deadH4191 personH120 to defileH2930 themselves; howeverH3588H518, for fatherH1, for motherH517, for sonH1121, for daughterH1323, for brotherH251, or for a sisterH269 whoH834 has not hadH1961 a husbandH376, they may defileH2930 themselves. 26AfterH310 he is 45cleansedH2893, sevenH7651 daysH3117 shall 46elapseH5608 for him. 27On the dayH3117 that he goesH935 into the sanctuaryH6944, into the 47innerH6442 courtH2691 to ministerH8334 in the sanctuaryH6944, he shall offerH7126 his 48sinH2403 offeringH2403,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

28“And it shall be with regard to an inheritanceH5159 for them, that 49I am their inheritanceH5159; and you shall giveH5414 them noH3808 possessionH272 in IsraelH3478--I am their possessionH272. 29They shall 50eatH398 the grain offeringH4503, the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the guiltH817 offeringH817; and everyH3605 5152devotedH2764 thingH2764 in IsraelH3478 shall be theirsH4480H1992. 30The firstH7225 of allH3605 the 53firstH1061 fruitsH1061 of everyH3605 kind and everyH3605 54contributionH8641 of everyH3605 kind, from allH3605 your 55contributionsH8641, shall be for the priestsH3548; you shall also giveH5414 to the priestH3548 the 56firstH7225 of your 57doughH6182 to cause a 58blessingH1293 to restH5117 on your houseH1004. 31The priestsH3548 shall not eatH398 anyH3605 birdH5775 or beastH929 that has 59diedH5038 a naturalH5038 deathH5038 or has been tornH2966 to piecesH2966.
