1 # Then he brought me back <07725> (8686) the way <01870> of the gate <08179> of the outward <02435> sanctuary <04720> which looketh <06437> (8802) toward the east <06921>; and it was shut <05462> (8803).
2 Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068> unto me; This gate <08179> shall be shut <05462> (8803), it shall not be opened <06605> (8735), and no man <0376> shall enter <0935> (8799) in by it; because the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, hath entered <0935> (8804) in by it, therefore it shall be shut <05462> (8803).
3 It is for the prince <05387>; the prince <05387>, he shall sit <03427> (8799) in it to eat <0398> (8800) bread <03899> before <06440> the LORD <03068>; he shall enter <0935> (8799) by the way <01870> of the porch <0197> of that gate <08179>, and shall go out <03318> (8799) by the way <01870> of the same.
4 # Then brought <0935> (8686) he me the way <01870> of the north <06828> gate <08179> before <06440> the house <01004>: and I looked <07200> (8799), and, behold, the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> filled <04390> (8804) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: and I fell <05307> (8799) upon my face <06440>.
5 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, mark <07760> (8798) well <03820>, and behold <07200> (8798) with thine eyes <05869>, and hear <08085> (8798) with thine ears <0241> all that I say <01696> (8764) unto thee concerning all the ordinances <02708> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and all the laws <08451> thereof; and mark <07760> (8804) well <03820> the entering in <03996> of the house <01004>, with every going forth <04161> of the sanctuary <04720>.
6 And thou shalt say <0559> (8804) to the rebellious <04805>, even to the house <01004> of Israel <03478> , Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; O ye house <01004> of Israel <03478>, let it suffice <07227> you of all your abominations <08441>,
7 In that ye have brought <0935> (8687) into my sanctuary strangers <01121> <05236>, uncircumcised <06189> in heart <03820>, and uncircumcised <06189> in flesh <01320>, to be in my sanctuary <04720>, to pollute <02490> (8763) it, even my house <01004>, when ye offer <07126> (8687) my bread <03899>, the fat <02459> and the blood <01818>, and they have broken <06565> (8686) my covenant <01285> because <0413> of all your abominations <08441>.
8 And ye have not kept <08104> (8804) the charge <04931> of mine holy things <06944>: but ye have set <07760> (8799) keepers <08104> (8802) of my charge <04931> in my sanctuary <04720> for yourselves.
9 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; No stranger <01121> <05236>, uncircumcised <06189> in heart <03820>, nor uncircumcised <06189> in flesh <01320>, shall enter <0935> (8799) into my sanctuary <04720> , of any stranger that is among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
10 # And the Levites <03881> that are gone away far <07368> (8804) from me, when Israel <03478> went astray <08582> (8800), which went astray away <08582> (8804) from me after <0310> their idols <01544>; they shall even bear <05375> (8804) their iniquity <05771>.
11 Yet they shall be ministers <08334> (8764) in my sanctuary <04720>, having charge <06486> at the gates <08179> of the house <01004>, and ministering <08334> (8764) to the house <01004>: they shall slay <07819> (8799) the burnt offering <05930> and the sacrifice <02077> for the people <05971>, and they shall stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> them to minister <08334> (8763) unto them.
12 Because they ministered <08334> (8762) unto them before <06440> their idols <01544>, and caused the house <01004> of Israel <03478> to fall <04383> into iniquity <05771>; therefore have I lifted up <05375> (8804) mine hand <03027> against them, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, and they shall bear <05375> (8804) their iniquity <05771> .
13 And they shall not come near <05066> (8799) unto me, to do the office of a priest <03547> (8763) unto me, nor to come near <05066> (8800) to any of my holy things <06944>, in the most holy <06944> place: but they shall bear <05375> (8804) their shame <03639>, and their abominations <08441> which they have committed <06213> (8804).
14 But I will make <05414> (8804) them keepers <08104> (8802) of the charge <04931> of the house <01004> , for all the service <05656> thereof, and for all that shall be done <06213> (8735) therein.
15 But the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>, the sons <01121> of Zadok <06659>, that kept <08104> (8804) the charge <04931> of my sanctuary <04720> when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> went astray <08582> (8800) from me, they shall come near <07126> (8799) to me to minister <08334> (8763) unto me, and they shall stand <05975> (8804) before <06440> me to offer <07126> (8687) unto me the fat <02459> and the blood <01818>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>:
16 They shall enter <0935> (8799) into my sanctuary <04720>, and they shall come near <07126> (8799) to my table <07979>, to minister <08334> (8763) unto me, and they shall keep <08104> (8804) my charge <04931>.
17 # And it shall come to pass, that when they enter <0935> (8800) in at the gates <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691>, they shall be clothed <03847> (8799) with linen <06593> garments <0899>; and no wool <06785> shall come <05927> (8799) upon them, whiles they minister <08334> (8763) in the gates <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691>, and within <01004>.
18 They shall have linen <06593> bonnets <06287> upon their heads <07218>, and shall have linen <06593> breeches <04370> upon their loins <04975>; they shall not gird <02296> (8799) themselves with any thing that causeth sweat <03154>.
19 And when they go forth <03318> (8800) into the utter <02435> court <02691>, even into the utter <02435> court <02691> to the people <05971>, they shall put off <06584> (8799) their garments <0899> wherein they ministered <08334> (8764), and lay <03240> (8689) them in the holy <06944> chambers <03957>, and they shall put <03847> (8804) on other <0312> garments <0899>; and they shall not sanctify <06942> (8762) the people <05971> with their garments <0899>.
20 Neither shall they shave <01548> (8762) their heads <07218>, nor suffer their locks <06545> to grow long <07971> (8762); they shall only <03697> (8800) poll <03697> (8799) their heads <07218>.
21 Neither shall any priest <03548> drink <08354> (8799) wine <03196>, when they enter <0935> (8800) into the inner <06442> court <02691>.
22 Neither shall they take <03947> (8799) for their wives <0802> a widow <0490>, nor her that is put away <01644> (8803): but they shall take <03947> (8799) maidens <01330> of the seed <02233> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> , or a widow <0490> that had a priest <03548> before.
23 And they shall teach <03384> (8686) my people <05971> the difference between the holy <06944> and profane <02455>, and cause them to discern <03045> (8686) between the unclean <02931> and the clean <02889>.
24 And in controversy <07379> they shall stand <05975> (8799) in judgment <08199> (8800); and they shall judge <08199> (8799) it according to my judgments <04941>: and they shall keep <08104> (8799) my laws <08451> and my statutes <02708> in all mine assemblies <04150>; and they shall hallow <06942> (8762) my sabbaths <07676>.
25 And they shall come <0935> (8799) at no dead <04191> (8801) person <0120> to defile <02930> (8800) themselves: but for father <01>, or for mother <0517>, or for son <01121>, or for daughter <01323>, for brother <0251>, or for sister <0269> that hath had no husband <0376>, they may defile <02930> (8691) themselves.
26 And after <0310> he is cleansed <02893>, they shall reckon <05608> (8799) unto him seven <07651> days <03117>.
27 And in the day <03117> that he goeth <0935> (8800) into the sanctuary <06944>, unto the inner <06442> court <02691>, to minister <08334> (8763) in the sanctuary <06944>, he shall offer <07126> (8686) his sin offering <02403> , saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance <05159>: I am their inheritance <05159>: and ye shall give <05414> (8799) them no possession <0272> in Israel <03478>: I am their possession <0272>.
29 They shall eat <0398> (8799) the meat offering <04503>, and the sin offering <02403>, and the trespass offering <0817> ; and every dedicated thing <02764> in Israel <03478> shall be theirs.
30 And the first <07225> of all the firstfruits <01061> of all things, and every oblation <08641> of all, of every sort of your oblations <08641>, shall be the priest's <03548>: ye shall also give <05414> (8799) unto the priest <03548> the first <07225> of your dough <06182>, that he may cause the blessing <01293> to rest <05117> (8687) in thine house <01004>.
31 The priests <03548> shall not eat <0398> (8799) of any thing that is dead of itself <05038>, or torn <02966> , whether it be fowl <05775> or beast <0929>.
