Context of Ezekiel 44:26
24In a lawsuit, they will stand to judge, and judge in accordance with My ordinances. They will keep My laws and My statutes in all My moadim and keep My Shabbatot holy. 25They must not come near a dead person to defile themselves—only for a father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister who had no husband may they defile themselves. After he is cleansed, they will count seven days for him. 27On the day he goes into the Sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the Sanctuary, he is to offer his sin offering.” It is a declaration of Adonai. 28“It will be an inheritance for them. I am their inheritance. Do not give them any possession in Israel for I am their possession.
