JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every son of the stranger, uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh, shall not come in to my holy place, to every son of the stranger which is the midst of the sons of Israel. ¹⁰ But the Levites who went far off from me, in the going astray of Israel who went astray from me after the blocks; and they bare their iniquity. ¹¹ And they were serving in my holy place, reviewing at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to serve them. ¹² Because they will serve them before their blocks, and they were to the house of Israel for a stumbling block of iniquity; for this I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord Jehovah, and they bare their iniquity. ¹³ And they shall not come near to me to be priest to me, to come near all my holy things, to the holies of holies: and they bare their shame, and their abominations which they did„ ¹⁴ And I gave them watchers of the watches of the house for all its service, and for all which shall be done in it ¹⁵ And the priests the Levites, sons of Zadok, who watched the watches of my holy place in the going astray of the sons of Israel from me, they shall draw near to me to serve me, and they stood before me to bring near to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Jehovah: ¹⁶ They shall come into my holy place, and they shall draw near to my table, to serve me; and they watched my watches.
