Ezekiel 44:17-31

17And it shall be that when they enter at the gates of the inner courtyard, they shall be clothed with 1linen garments; and wool shall not 2be worn by them while they are ministering in the gates of the inner courtyard or in the house. 18Linen 3turbans shall be on their heads and 4linen undergarments shall be around their waists; they shall not put on anything that makes them sweat. 19And when they go out into the outer courtyard, into the outer courtyard to the people, they shall 5take off their garments in which they have been ministering and lay them in the holy chambers; then they shall put on other garments, so that they will 6not transfer holiness to the people with their garments. 20Also they shall 7not shave their heads, yet they shall not 8let their locks 9grow long; they shall only trim the hair of their heads. 2110Nor shall any of the priests drink wine when they enter the inner courtyard. 22And they shall not 11marry a widow or a 12divorced woman, but shall 13take virgins from the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest. 23Moreover, they shall teach My people the 14difference between the holy and the 15common, and teach them to distinguish between the unclean and the clean. 24In a dispute 16they shall take their stand to judge; they shall judge it according to My ordinances. They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My 17appointed feasts, and 18sanctify My Sabbaths. 251920They shall not go to a dead person to defile themselves; however, for father, for mother, for son, for daughter, for brother, or for a sister who has not had a husband, they may defile themselves. 26And after he is 21cleansed, seven days 22shall elapse for him. 27On the day that he goes into the sanctuary, to the 23inner courtyard to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his 24sin offering,” declares the Lord God.

28“And it shall be regarding an inheritance for them, that 25I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no property in Israel--I am their property. 29They shall 26eat the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering; and everything 27banned from secular use in Israel shall be theirs. 30And the first of all the 28first fruits of every kind and every 29contribution of every kind, from all your 30contributions, shall be for the priests; you shall also give to the priest the 31first of your 32dough, to make a 33blessing rest on your house. 31The priests shall not eat any bird or animal that has 34died a natural death or has been torn to pieces by animals.
