Ezekiel 44:4-16

4Then he broughtH935 meH413 the wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 beforeH6440 the houseH1004; and I lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and I fellH5307 uponH935 my faceH6440.

5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, SonH1121 of manH120, markH7760 wellH3820, and beholdH7200 with thine eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with thine earsH241 allH3605 that I sayH559 unto thee concerning allH3605 the ordinancesH2708 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and allH3605 the lawsH8451 thereof; and markH7760 wellH3820 the entering in of the houseH1004, with everyH3605 goingH4161 forthH8085 of the sanctuaryH4720.

6And thou shalt sayH559 to the rebelliousH4805, evenH3541 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, let it suffice youH3605 of allH3605 your abominationsH8441,

7in that ye have broughtH935 in aliens, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820 and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, to be in my sanctuaryH4720, to profaneH2490 it, evenH853 my houseH1004, when ye offerH7126 my breadH3899, the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, and they have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285, to add unto allH3605 your abominationsH8441.

8And ye have notH3808 keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of mine holyH6944 things: but ye have setH7760 keepersH8104 of my chargeH4931 in my sanctuaryH4720 for yourselves.

9ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136, NoH3808 alien, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820 and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, shall enterH935 intoH413 my sanctuaryH4720, of anyH3605 alien that is among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

10But the LevitesH3881 that wentH8582 farH7368 from meH5921, when IsraelH3478 wentH8582 astrayH8582, whichH834 wentH8582 astrayH8582 from meH5921 afterH310 their idolsH1544; they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.

11Yet they shall be ministersH8334 in my sanctuaryH4720, havingH1961 oversightH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004, and ministeringH8334 in the houseH1004: they shall slayH7819 the burntH5930 offering and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 unto them.

12BecauseH5921 they ministeredH8334 unto them beforeH6440 their idolsH1544, and becameH1961 a stumblingblock of iniquityH5771 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore have I liftedH5375 upH5375 mine handH3027 againstH5921 them, saith the LordH136 GODH136, and they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.

13And they shall notH3808 comeH5066 nearH5066 unto meH413, to execute the office of priestH3547 unto meH413, norH3808 to comeH5066 nearH5066 to anyH3605 of my holyH6944 things, unto the things that are mostH6944 holyH6944: but they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639, and their abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213.

14Yet will I makeH5414 them keepersH8104 of the chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, for allH3605 the serviceH5656 thereof, and for allH3605 that shall be doneH6213 therein.

15But the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of my sanctuaryH4720 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH8582 astrayH8582 from meH413, they shall comeH7126 nearH7126 to meH413 to ministerH8334 unto meH413; and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 meH413 to offerH7126 unto meH413 the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, saith the LordH136 GODH136:

16they shall enterH935 intoH413 my sanctuaryH4720, and they shall comeH935 nearH7126 to my tableH7979, to ministerH8334 unto meH413, and they shall keepH8104 my chargeH4931.
