Ezekiel 44

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H7725 Then he brought me back [H8686]   H1870 the way H8179 of the gate H2435 of the outward H4720 sanctuary H6437 which looketh [H8802]   H6921 toward the east H5462 ; and it was shut [H8803]  .
  2 H559 Then said [H8799]   H3068 the LORD H8179 unto me; This gate H5462 shall be shut [H8803]   H6605 , it shall not be opened [H8735]   H376 , and no man H935 shall enter [H8799]   H3068 in by it; because the LORD H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H935 , hath entered [H8804]   H5462 in by it, therefore it shall be shut [H8803]  .
  3 H5387 It is for the prince H5387 ; the prince H3427 , he shall sit [H8799]   H398 in it to eat [H8800]   H3899 bread H6440 before H3068 the LORD H935 ; he shall enter [H8799]   H1870 by the way H197 of the porch H8179 of that gate H3318 , and shall go out [H8799]   H1870 by the way of the same.
  4 H935 Then brought [H8686]   H1870 he me the way H6828 of the north H8179 gate H6440 before H1004 the house H7200 : and I looked [H8799]   H3519 , and, behold, the glory H3068 of the LORD H4390 filled [H8804]   H1004 the house H3068 of the LORD H5307 : and I fell [H8799]   H6440 upon my face.
  5 H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H1121 unto me, Son H120 of man H7760 , mark [H8798]   H3820 well H7200 , and behold [H8798]   H5869 with thine eyes H8085 , and hear [H8798]   H241 with thine ears H1696 all that I say [H8764]   H2708 unto thee concerning all the ordinances H1004 of the house H3068 of the LORD H8451 , and all the laws H7760 thereof; and mark [H8804]   H3820 well H3996 the entering in H1004 of the house H4161 , with every going forth H4720 of the sanctuary.
  6 H559 And thou shalt say [H8804]   H4805 to the rebellious H1004 , even to the house H3478 of Israel H559 , Thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H1004 ; O ye house H3478 of Israel H7227 , let it suffice H8441 you of all your abominations,
  7 H935 In that ye have brought [H8687]   H1121 into my sanctuary strangers H5236   H6189 , uncircumcised H3820 in heart H6189 , and uncircumcised H1320 in flesh H4720 , to be in my sanctuary H2490 , to pollute [H8763]   H1004 it, even my house H7126 , when ye offer [H8687]   H3899 my bread H2459 , the fat H1818 and the blood H6565 , and they have broken [H8686]   H1285 my covenant H413 because H8441 of all your abominations.
  8 H8104 And ye have not kept [H8804]   H4931 the charge H6944 of mine holy things H7760 : but ye have set [H8799]   H8104 keepers [H8802]   H4931 of my charge H4720 in my sanctuary for yourselves.
  9 H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H1121 ; No stranger H5236   H6189 , uncircumcised H3820 in heart H6189 , nor uncircumcised H1320 in flesh H935 , shall enter [H8799]   H4720 into my sanctuary H8432 , of any stranger that is among H1121 the children H3478 of Israel.
  10 H3881 And the Levites H7368 that are gone away far [H8804]   H3478 from me, when Israel H8582 went astray [H8800]   H8582 , which went astray away [H8804]   H310 from me after H1544 their idols H5375 ; they shall even bear [H8804]   H5771 their iniquity.
  11 H8334 Yet they shall be ministers [H8764]   H4720 in my sanctuary H6486 , having charge H8179 at the gates H1004 of the house H8334 , and ministering [H8764]   H1004 to the house H7819 : they shall slay [H8799]   H5930 the burnt offering H2077 and the sacrifice H5971 for the people H5975 , and they shall stand [H8799]   H6440 before H8334 them to minister [H8763]   unto them.
  12 H8334 Because they ministered [H8762]   H6440 unto them before H1544 their idols H1004 , and caused the house H3478 of Israel H4383 to fall H5771 into iniquity H5375 ; therefore have I lifted up [H8804]   H3027 mine hand H5002 against them, saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H5375 , and they shall bear [H8804]   H5771 their iniquity.
  13 H5066 And they shall not come near [H8799]   H3547 unto me, to do the office of a priest [H8763]   H5066 unto me, nor to come near [H8800]   H6944 to any of my holy things H6944 , in the most holy H5375 place : but they shall bear [H8804]   H3639 their shame H8441 , and their abominations H6213 which they have committed [H8804]  .
  14 H5414 But I will make [H8804]   H8104 them keepers [H8802]   H4931 of the charge H1004 of the house H5656 , for all the service H6213 thereof, and for all that shall be done [H8735]   therein.
  15 H3548 But the priests H3881 the Levites H1121 , the sons H6659 of Zadok H8104 , that kept [H8804]   H4931 the charge H4720 of my sanctuary H1121 when the children H3478 of Israel H8582 went astray [H8800]   H7126 from me, they shall come near [H8799]   H8334 to me to minister [H8763]   H5975 unto me, and they shall stand [H8804]   H6440 before H7126 me to offer [H8687]   H2459 unto me the fat H1818 and the blood H5002 , saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD:
  16 H935 They shall enter [H8799]   H4720 into my sanctuary H7126 , and they shall come near [H8799]   H7979 to my table H8334 , to minister [H8763]   H8104 unto me, and they shall keep [H8804]   H4931 my charge.
  17 H935 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter [H8800]   H8179 in at the gates H6442 of the inner H2691 court H3847 , they shall be clothed [H8799]   H6593 with linen H899 garments H6785 ; and no wool H5927 shall come [H8799]   H8334 upon them, whiles they minister [H8763]   H8179 in the gates H6442 of the inner H2691 court H1004 , and within.
  18 H6593 They shall have linen H6287 bonnets H7218 upon their heads H6593 , and shall have linen H4370 breeches H4975 upon their loins H2296 ; they shall not gird [H8799]   H3154 themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
  19 H3318 And when they go forth [H8800]   H2435 into the utter H2691 court H2435 , even into the utter H2691 court H5971 to the people H6584 , they shall put off [H8799]   H899 their garments H8334 wherein they ministered [H8764]   H3240 , and lay [H8689]   H6944 them in the holy H3957 chambers H3847 , and they shall put [H8804]   H312 on other H899 garments H6942 ; and they shall not sanctify [H8762]   H5971 the people H899 with their garments.
  20 H1548 Neither shall they shave [H8762]   H7218 their heads H6545 , nor suffer their locks H7971 to grow long [H8762]   H3697 ; they shall only [H8800]   H3697 poll [H8799]   H7218 their heads.
  21 H3548 Neither shall any priest H8354 drink [H8799]   H3196 wine H935 , when they enter [H8800]   H6442 into the inner H2691 court.
  22 H3947 Neither shall they take [H8799]   H802 for their wives H490 a widow H1644 , nor her that is put away [H8803]   H3947 : but they shall take [H8799]   H1330 maidens H2233 of the seed H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel H490 , or a widow H3548 that had a priest before.
  23 H3384 And they shall teach [H8686]   H5971 my people H6944 the difference between the holy H2455 and profane H3045 , and cause them to discern [H8686]   H2931 between the unclean H2889 and the clean.
  24 H7379 And in controversy H5975 they shall stand [H8799]   H8199 in judgment [H8800]   H8199 ; and they shall judge [H8799]   H4941 it according to my judgments H8104 : and they shall keep [H8799]   H8451 my laws H2708 and my statutes H4150 in all mine assemblies H6942 ; and they shall hallow [H8762]   H7676 my sabbaths.
  25 H935 And they shall come [H8799]   H4191 at no dead [H8801]   H120 person H2930 to defile [H8800]   H1 themselves: but for father H517 , or for mother H1121 , or for son H1323 , or for daughter H251 , for brother H269 , or for sister H376 that hath had no husband H2930 , they may defile [H8691]   themselves.
  26 H310 And after H2893 he is cleansed H5608 , they shall reckon [H8799]   H7651 unto him seven H3117 days.
  27 H3117 And in the day H935 that he goeth [H8800]   H6944 into the sanctuary H6442 , unto the inner H2691 court H8334 , to minister [H8763]   H6944 in the sanctuary H7126 , he shall offer [H8686]   H2403 his sin offering H5002 , saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD.
  28 H5159 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance H5159 : I am their inheritance H5414 : and ye shall give [H8799]   H272 them no possession H3478 in Israel H272 : I am their possession.
  29 H398 They shall eat [H8799]   H4503 the meat offering H2403 , and the sin offering H817 , and the trespass offering H2764 ; and every dedicated thing H3478 in Israel shall be theirs.
  30 H7225 And the first H1061 of all the firstfruits H8641 of all things, and every oblation H8641 of all, of every sort of your oblations H3548 , shall be the priest's H5414 : ye shall also give [H8799]   H3548 unto the priest H7225 the first H6182 of your dough H1293 , that he may cause the blessing H5117 to rest [H8687]   H1004 in thine house.
  31 H3548 The priests H398 shall not eat [H8799]   H5038 of any thing that is dead of itself H2966 , or torn H5775 , whether it be fowl H929 or beast.
ERV(i) 1 Then he brought me back the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. 2 And the LORD said unto me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it, for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut. 3 As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. 4 Then he brought me the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face. 5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary. 6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations, 7 in that ye have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, [to add] unto all your abominations. 8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. 9 Thus saith the Lord GOD, No alien, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any alien that is among the children of Israel. 10 But the Levites that went far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from me after their idols; they shall bear 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 slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them. 12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and became a stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are most holy: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. 14 Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein. 15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me; and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: 16 they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. 17 And it shall be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. 18 They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with [any thing that causeth] sweat. 19 And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments, that they sanctify not the people with their garments. 20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. 21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest. 23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 24 And in a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my judgments shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. 26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. 27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD. 28 And they shall have an inheritance; I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession. 29 They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs. 30 And the first of all the firstfruits of every thing, and every oblation of every thing, of all your oblations, shall be for the priests: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on thine house. 31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself, or is torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
