9‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “1NoH3605H3808 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 2wentH8582 astrayH8582 from Me afterH310 their idolsH1544, shall 3bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for their iniquityH5771. 11Yet they shall be 4ministersH8334 in My sanctuaryH4720, having 5oversightH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 and 6ministeringH8334 in the houseH1004; they shall 7slaughterH7819 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall 8standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 to them. 12BecauseH3282H834 they ministeredH8334 to them 9beforeH6440 their idolsH1544 and becameH1961 a 10stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of iniquityH5771 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, thereforeH5921H3651 I have 1112swornH5375H3027 againstH5921 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “that they shall 13bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for their iniquityH5771. 13And they shall 14not 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 15bearH5375 their shameH3639 and their abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213. 14Yet I will 16appointH5414 them 17to 18keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, of allH3605 its serviceH5656 and of allH3605 that shall be doneH6213 in it.
