Ezekiel 44:4-16

4Then He broughtH935 me by wayH1870 of the 1northH6828 gateH8179 to the frontH6440 of the houseH1004; and I lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the 2gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and I 3fellH5307 on my faceH6440. 5The LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, 45markH7760 wellH3820, seeH7200 with your eyesH5869 and hearH8085 with your earsH241 allH3605 that I sayH1696 to you concerning allH3605 the 6statutesH2708 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and concerning allH3605 its lawsH8451; and 7markH7760 wellH3820 the entranceH3996 of the houseH1004, with allH3605 exitsH4161 of the sanctuaryH4720. 6You shall sayH559 to the 89rebelliousH4805 onesH4805, to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 10GodH3068, “11EnoughH7227 of allH3605 your abominationsH8441, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, 7when you broughtH935 in 12foreignersH1121H5236, 13uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820 and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, to be in My sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490 it, even My houseH1004, when you 14offeredH7126 My foodH3899, the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818; for they 15madeH6565 My covenantH1285 voidH6565--this in additionH413 to allH3605 your abominationsH8441. 8And you have not 16keptH8104 chargeH4931 of My holyH6944 thingsH6944 yourselves, but you have setH7760 foreigners 17to keepH8104 chargeH4931 of My sanctuaryH4720.”

9‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “18NoH3605H3808 foreignerH1121H5236 uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820 and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, of allH3605 the foreignersH1121H5236 whoH834 are amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, shall enterH935 My sanctuaryH4720. 10But the LevitesH3881 whoH834 wentH7368 farH7368 from Me when IsraelH3478 wentH8582 astrayH8582, whoH834 19wentH8582 astrayH8582 from Me afterH310 their idolsH1544, shall 20bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for their iniquityH5771. 11Yet they shall be 21ministersH8334 in My sanctuaryH4720, having 22oversightH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 and 23ministeringH8334 in the houseH1004; they shall 24slaughterH7819 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall 25standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 to them. 12BecauseH3282H834 they ministeredH8334 to them 26beforeH6440 their idolsH1544 and becameH1961 a 27stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of iniquityH5771 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, thereforeH5921H3651 I have 2829swornH5375H3027 againstH5921 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “that they shall 30bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for their iniquityH5771. 13And they shall 31not 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 32bearH5375 their shameH3639 and their abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213. 14Yet I will 33appointH5414 them 34to 35keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, of allH3605 its serviceH5656 and of allH3605 that shall be doneH6213 in it.

15“But the 36LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548, the sonsH1121 of 37ZadokH6659, whoH834 38keptH8104 chargeH4931 of My sanctuaryH4720 when the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 39wentH8582 astrayH8582 from Me, shall comeH7126 nearH7126 to Me to ministerH8334 to Me; and they shall 40standH5975 beforeH6440 Me to offerH7126 Me the 41fatH2459 and the bloodH1818,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 16“They shall 42enterH935 My sanctuaryH4720; they shall comeH7126 nearH7126 to My 43tableH7979 to ministerH8334 to Me and keepH8104 My chargeH4931.
