[1]Then he brought me backH7725[H8686] the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 of the outwardH2435 sanctuaryH4720 which lookethH6437[H8802] toward the eastH6921; and it was shutH5462.[H8803]
[2]Then saidH559[H8799] the LORDH3068 unto me; This gateH8179 shall be shutH5462[H8803], it shall not be openedH6605[H8735], and no manH376 shall enterH935[H8799] in by it; because the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hath enteredH935[H8804] in by it, therefore it shall be shutH5462.[H8803]
[3]It is for the princeH5387; the princeH5387, he shall sitH3427[H8799] in it to eatH398[H8800] breadH3899 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; he shall enterH935[H8799] by the wayH1870 of the porchH197 of that gateH8179, and shall go outH3318[H8799] by the way of the sameH1870.
[4]Then broughtH935[H8686] he me the wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 beforeH6440 the houseH1004: and I lookedH7200[H8799], and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390[H8804] the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and I fellH5307[H8799] upon my faceH6440.
[5]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, markH7760[H8798] wellH3820, and beholdH7200[H8798] with thine eyesH5869, and hearH8085[H8798] with thine earsH241 all that I sayH1696[H8764] unto thee concerning all the ordinancesH2708 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the lawsH8451 thereof; and markH7760[H8804] wellH3820 the entering inH3996 of the houseH1004, with every going forthH4161 of the sanctuaryH4720.
[6]And thou shalt sayH559[H8804] to the rebelliousH4805, even to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, let it sufficeH7227 you of all your abominationsH8441,
[7]In that ye have broughtH935[H8687] into my sanctuary strangersH1121[H5236], uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, to be in my sanctuaryH4720, to polluteH2490[H8763] it, even my houseH1004, when ye offerH7126[H8687] my breadH3899, the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, and they have brokenH6565[H8686] my covenantH1285 becauseH413 of all your abominationsH8441.
[8]And ye have not keptH8104[H8804] the chargeH4931 of mine holy thingsH6944: but ye have setH7760[H8799] keepersH8104[H8802] of my chargeH4931 in my sanctuary for yourselvesH4720.
[9]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; No strangerH1121[H5236], uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, nor uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, shall enterH935[H8799] into my sanctuaryH4720, of any stranger that is amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
[10]And the LevitesH3881 that are gone away farH7368[H8804] from me, when IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582[H8800], which went astray awayH8582[H8804] from me afterH310 their idolsH1544; they shall even bearH5375[H8804] their iniquityH5771.
[11]Yet they shall be ministersH8334[H8764] in my sanctuaryH4720, having chargeH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004, and ministeringH8334[H8764] to the houseH1004: they shall slayH7819[H8799] the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall standH5975[H8799] beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 unto themH8763.
[12]Because they ministeredH8334[H8762] unto them beforeH6440 their idolsH1544, and caused the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to fallH4383 into iniquityH5771; therefore have I lifted upH5375[H8804] mine handH3027 against them, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069, and they shall bearH5375[H8804] their iniquityH5771.
[13]And they shall not come nearH5066[H8799] unto me, to do the office of a priestH3547[H8763] unto me, nor to come nearH5066[H8800] to any of my holy thingsH6944, in the most holyH6944 place: but they shall bearH5375[H8804] their shameH3639, and their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.[H8804]
[14]But I will makeH5414[H8804] them keepersH8104[H8802] of the chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, for all the serviceH5656 thereof, and for all that shall be doneH6213 thereinH8735.
[15]But the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that keptH8104[H8804] the chargeH4931 of my sanctuaryH4720 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582[H8800] from me, they shall come nearH7126[H8799] to me to ministerH8334[H8763] unto me, and they shall standH5975[H8804] beforeH6440 me to offerH7126[H8687] unto me the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069:
[16]They shall enterH935[H8799] into my sanctuaryH4720, and they shall come nearH7126[H8799] to my tableH7979, to ministerH8334[H8763] unto me, and they shall keepH8104[H8804] my chargeH4931.
[17]And it shall come to pass, that when they enterH935[H8800] in at the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691, they shall be clothedH3847[H8799] with linenH6593 garmentsH899; and no woolH6785 shall comeH5927[H8799] upon them, whiles they ministerH8334[H8763] in the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691, and withinH1004.
[18]They shall have linenH6593 bonnetsH6287 upon their headsH7218, and shall have linenH6593 breechesH4370 upon their loinsH4975; they shall not girdH2296[H8799] themselves with any thing that causeth sweatH3154.
[19]And when they go forthH3318[H8800] into the utterH2435 courtH2691, even into the utterH2435 courtH2691 to the peopleH5971, they shall put offH6584[H8799] their garmentsH899 wherein they ministeredH8334[H8764], and layH3240[H8689] them in the holyH6944 chambersH3957, and they shall putH3847[H8804] on otherH312 garmentsH899; and they shall not sanctifyH6942[H8762] the peopleH5971 with their garmentsH899.
[20]Neither shall they shaveH1548[H8762] their headsH7218, nor suffer their locksH6545 to grow longH7971[H8762]; they shall onlyH3697[H8800] pollH3697[H8799] their headsH7218.
[21]Neither shall any priestH3548 drinkH8354[H8799] wineH3196, when they enterH935[H8800] into the innerH6442 courtH2691.
[22]Neither shall they takeH3947[H8799] for their wivesH802 a widowH490, nor her that is put awayH1644[H8803]: but they shall takeH3947[H8799] maidensH1330 of the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or a widowH490 that had a priest beforeH3548.
[23]And they shall teachH3384[H8686] my peopleH5971 the difference between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, and cause them to discernH3045[H8686] between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889.
[24]And in controversyH7379 they shall standH5975[H8799] in judgmentH8199[H8800]; and they shall judgeH8199[H8799] it according to my judgmentsH4941: and they shall keepH8104[H8799] my lawsH8451 and my statutesH2708 in all mine assembliesH4150; and they shall hallowH6942[H8762] my sabbathsH7676.
[25]And they shall comeH935[H8799] at no deadH4191[H8801] personH120 to defileH2930[H8800] themselves: but for fatherH1, or for motherH517, or for sonH1121, or for daughterH1323, for brotherH251, or for sisterH269 that hath had no husbandH376, they may defileH2930 themselvesH8691.
[26]And afterH310 he is cleansedH2893, they shall reckonH5608[H8799] unto him sevenH7651 daysH3117.
[27]And in the dayH3117 that he goethH935[H8800] into the sanctuaryH6944, unto the innerH6442 courtH2691, to ministerH8334[H8763] in the sanctuaryH6944, he shall offerH7126[H8686] his sin offeringH2403, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069.
[28]And it shall be unto them for an inheritanceH5159: I am their inheritanceH5159: and ye shall giveH5414[H8799] them no possessionH272 in IsraelH3478: I am their possessionH272.
[29]They shall eatH398[H8799] the meat offeringH4503, and the sin offeringH2403, and the trespass offeringH817; and every dedicated thingH2764 in Israel shall be theirsH3478.
[30]And the firstH7225 of all the firstfruitsH1061 of all things, and every oblationH8641 of all, of every sort of your oblationsH8641, shall be the priest'sH3548: ye shall also giveH5414[H8799] unto the priestH3548 the firstH7225 of your doughH6182, that he may cause the blessingH1293 to restH5117[H8687] in thine houseH1004.
[31]The priestsH3548 shall not eatH398[H8799] of any thing that is dead of itselfH5038, or tornH2966, whether it be fowlH5775 or beastH929.
