Ezekiel 44:17-31
17It shall be that when they enterH935 at the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691, they shall be clothedH3847 with 1linenH6593 garmentsH899; and woolH6785 shall not 2be on them while they are ministeringH8334 in the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691 and in the houseH1004. 18LinenH6593 3turbansH6287 shall be on their headsH7218 and 4linenH6593 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 5putH6584 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 6not transmitH6942 holinessH6942 to the peopleH5971 with their garmentsH899. 20Also they shall 7not shaveH1548 their headsH7218, yet they shall not 8let their locksH6545 9growH7971 longH7971; they shall onlyH3697 trimH3697 the hair of their headsH7218. 2110NorH3808 shall anyH3605 of the priestsH3548 drinkH8354 wineH3196 when they enterH935 the innerH6442 courtH2691. 22And they shall not 11marryH3947 a widowH490 or a 12divorcedH1644 woman but shall 13takeH3947 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 14difference betweenH996 the holyH6944 and the profaneH2455, and cause them to discernH3045 betweenH996 the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889. 24In a disputeH7379 15they 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 16appointedH4150 feastsH4150 and 17sanctifyH6942 My sabbathsH7676. 251819They 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 20cleansedH2893, sevenH7651 daysH3117 shall 21elapseH5608 for him. 27On the dayH3117 that he goesH935 into the sanctuaryH6944, into the 22innerH6442 courtH2691 to ministerH8334 in the sanctuaryH6944, he shall offerH7126 his 23sinH2403 offeringH2403,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
28“And it shall be with regard to an inheritanceH5159 for them, that 24I am their inheritanceH5159; and you shall giveH5414 them noH3808 possessionH272 in IsraelH3478--I am their possessionH272. 29They shall 25eatH398 the grain offeringH4503, the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the guiltH817 offeringH817; and everyH3605 2627devotedH2764 thingH2764 in IsraelH3478 shall be theirsH4480H1992. 30The firstH7225 of allH3605 the 28firstH1061 fruitsH1061 of everyH3605 kind and everyH3605 29contributionH8641 of everyH3605 kind, from allH3605 your 30contributionsH8641, shall be for the priestsH3548; you shall also giveH5414 to the priestH3548 the 31firstH7225 of your 32doughH6182 to cause a 33blessingH1293 to restH5117 on your houseH1004. 31The priestsH3548 shall not eatH398 anyH3605 birdH5775 or beastH929 that has 34diedH5038 a naturalH5038 deathH5038 or has been tornH2966 to piecesH2966.
