1
Then He brought me back
by the way
of the outer
gate
of the sanctuary,
which faces
the east;
and it was shut.
2
The LORD
said
to me, "This
gate
shall be shut;
it shall not be opened,
and no
one
shall enter
by it, for the LORD
God
of Israel
has entered
by it; therefore it shall be shut.
3
"As for the prince,
he shall sit
in it as prince
to eat
bread
before
the LORD;
he shall enter
by way
of the porch
of the gate
and shall go
out by the same way."
4
Then He brought
me by way
of the north
gate
to the front
of
the house
;
and I looked,
and behold,
the glory
of the LORD
filled
the house
of the LORD
,
and I fell
on my face.
5
The LORD
said
to me, "Son
of man,
mark
well
,
see
with your eyes
and hear
with your ears
all
that I say
to you concerning
all
the statutes
of the house
of the LORD
and concerning
all
its laws;
and
mark
well
the entrance
of the house
,
with
all
exits
of the sanctuary.
6
"You shall say
to the rebellious ones,
to the house
of Israel,
'Thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"Enough
of all
your abominations,
O house
of Israel,
7
when you brought
in foreigners,
uncircumcised
in heart
and
uncircumcised
in flesh,
to be in My sanctuary
to profane
it, even My house,
when you offered
My food,
the fat
and the blood;
for they made
My covenant
void--
this in addition
to all
your abominations.
8
"And you have not kept
charge
of My holy things
yourselves, but you have set
foreigners to keep
charge
of My sanctuary."
9
'
Thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"No
foreigner
uncircumcised
in heart
and
uncircumcised
in flesh,
of all
the foreigners
who
are among
the sons
of Israel,
shall enter
My sanctuary.
10
"But the Levites
who
went
far
from Me when Israel
went
astray
,
who
went
astray
from Me after
their idols,
shall bear
the punishment for their iniquity.
11
"Yet they shall be ministers
in My sanctuary,
having oversight
at the gates
of the house
and ministering
in the house;
they shall slaughter
the burnt offering
and the sacrifice
for the people,
and they shall stand
before
them to minister
to them.
12
"Because
they ministered
to them before
their idols
and became
a stumbling block
of iniquity
to the house
of Israel,
therefore
I have sworn
against
them," declares
the Lord
GOD,
"that they shall bear
the punishment for their iniquity.
13
"And they shall not come
near
to Me to serve as a priest
to Me, nor
come
near
to any
of My holy
things,
to the things that are most holy;
but they will bear
their shame
and their abominations
which
they have committed.
14
"Yet I will appoint
them to keep
charge
of the house,
of all
its service
and
of all
that shall be done
in it.
15
"But the Levitical
priests,
the sons
of Zadok,
who
kept
charge
of My sanctuary
when
the sons
of Israel
went astray
from Me, shall come
near
to Me to minister
to Me; and they shall stand
before
Me to offer
Me the fat
and the blood,"
declares
the Lord
GOD.
16
"They shall enter
My sanctuary;
they shall come near
to My table
to minister
to Me and keep
My charge.
17
"It shall be that when they enter
at the gates
of the inner
court
,
they shall be clothed
with linen
garments;
and wool
shall not be on them while they are ministering
in the gates
of the inner
court
and in the house.
18
"Linen
turbans
shall be on their heads
and linen
undergarments
shall be on their loins;
they shall not gird
themselves with anything which makes them sweat.
19
"When they go
out
into the outer
court
,
into the outer
court
to the people
,
they shall put 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 not transmit holiness
to the people
with
their
garments
.
20
"Also they shall not shave
their heads,
yet they shall not let their locks
grow long;
they shall only
trim
the hair of their heads.
21
"Nor
shall any
of the priests
drink
wine
when they enter
the inner
court.
22
"And they shall not marry
a widow
or a divorced
woman but shall take
virgins
from the offspring
of the house
of Israel,
or
a widow
who
is the widow
of a priest.
23
"Moreover, they shall teach
My people
the difference
between
the holy
and the profane,
and cause them to discern
between
the unclean
and the clean.
24
"In a dispute
they 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 appointed feasts
and sanctify
My sabbaths.
25
"They 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.
26
"After
he is cleansed,
seven
days
shall elapse
for him.
27
"On the day
that he goes
into the sanctuary,
into the inner
court
to minister
in the sanctuary,
he shall offer
his sin offering,"
declares
the Lord
GOD.
28
"And it shall be with regard to an inheritance
for them, that I am their inheritance;
and you shall give
them no
possession
in Israel--
I am their
possession
.
29
"They shall eat
the grain offering,
the sin offering
and the guilt offering;
and every
devoted thing
in Israel
shall be theirs.
30
"The first
of all
the first
fruits
of every
kind and every
contribution
of every
kind, from all
your
contribution
s,
shall be for the priests;
you shall also give
to the priest
the first
of your dough
to cause a blessing
to rest
on your house.
31
"The priests
shall not eat
any
bird
or beast
that has died a natural death
or has been torn to pieces.
