Ezekiel 44:10-14

LEB(i) 10 But* the Levites who removed themselves from me at the going astray of Israel,* who went astray from me and went after their idols, as a result they will bear their guilt. 11 Then they will be* in my sanctuary, those serving in my sanctuary, as sentries* at the gates of the temple* and as those serving the temple;* they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they will stand before them* to serve them, 12 because* they used to serve them before* their idols and they were for the house of Israel like a stumbling block of iniquity. Therefore I swore* concerning them," declares* the Lord Yahweh, "that they will bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not approach me to serve as a priest for me and to come near to all of* my holy objects, to the most holy objects, * and they will bear their disgrace and the results of their detestable things they have done. 14 And I will appoint them as the keepers of the responsibility of* the temple, for all of its work* and everything *which will be done in it.
