1
H7725 [H8686]
Then he brought me back
H1870
the way
H8179
of the gate
H2435
of the outer
H4720
sanctuary
H6437 [H8802]
which looketh
H6921
toward the east;
H5462 [H8803]
and it was shut.
2
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H3068
the LORD
H8179
to me; This gate
H5462 [H8803]
shall be shut,
H6605 [H8735]
it shall not be opened,
H376
and no man
H935 [H8799]
shall enter
H3068
in by it; because the LORD,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H935 [H8804]
hath entered
H5462 [H8803]
in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3
H5387
It is for the prince;
H5387
the prince,
H3427 [H8799]
he shall sit
H398 [H8800]
in it to eat
H3899
bread
H6440
at the face of
H3068
the LORD;
H935 [H8799]
he shall enter
H1870
by the way
H197
of the porch
H8179
of that gate,
H3318 [H8799]
and shall go out
H1870
by the way of the same.
4
H935 [H8686]
Then he brought
H1870
me the way
H6828
of the north
H8179
gate
H6440
at the face of
H1004
the house:
H7200 [H8799]
and I looked,
H3519
and, behold, the glory
H3068
of the LORD
H4390 [H8804]
filled
H1004
the house
H3068
of the LORD:
H5307 [H8799]
and I fell
H6440
upon my face.
5
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H1121
to me, Son
H120
of man,
H7760 [H8798]
mark
H3820
well,
H7200 [H8798]
and behold
H5869
with thine eyes,
H8085 [H8798]
and hear
H241
with thine ears
H1696 [H8764]
all that I say
H2708
to thee concerning all the ordinances
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H8451
and all its laws;
H7760 [H8804]
and mark
H3820
well
H3996
the entrance
H1004
of the house,
H4161
with every exit
H4720
from the sanctuary.
6
H559 [H8804]
And thou shalt say
H4805
to the rebellious,
H1004
even to the house
H3478
of Israel,
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H136
the Sovereign
H3069
LORD;
H1004
O ye house
H3478
of Israel,
H7227
let it suffice
H8441
you of all your abominations,
7
H935 [H8687]
In that ye have brought
H1121 H5236
into my sanctuary foreigners,
H6189
uncircumcised
H3820
in heart,
H6189
and uncircumcised
H1320
in flesh,
H4720
to be in my sanctuary,
H2490 [H8763]
to pollute
H1004
it, even my house,
H7126 [H8687]
when ye offer
H3899
my bread,
H2459
the fat
H1818
and the blood,
H6565 [H8686]
and they have broken
H1285
my covenant
H413
because
H8441
of all your abominations.
8
H8104 [H8804]
And ye have not kept
H4931
the charge
H6944
of my holy things:
H7760 [H8799]
but ye have set
H8104 [H8802]
keepers
H4931
of my charge
H4720
in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9
H3541
Thus
H559 [H8804]
saith
H136
the Sovereign
H3069
LORD;
H3605
Every
H1121
son
H5236
of a foreigner,
H6189
uncircumcised
H3820
in heart,
H9002
and
H6189
uncircumcised
H1320
in flesh,
H935 0
shall
H3808
not
H935 [H8799]
enter
H413
into
H9020
my
H4720
sanctuary,
H9005
of
H3605
every
H1121
son
H5236
of a foreigner
H834
that is
H9003
in
H8432
the midst
H1121
of the sons
H3478
of Israel.
10
H3881
And the Levites
H7368 [H8804]
that have gone away far
H3478
from me, when Israel
H8582 [H8800]
went astray,
H8582 [H8804]
who went astray
H310
from me after
H1544
their idols;
H5375 [H8804]
they shall even bear
H5771
their perversity.
11
H8334 [H8764]
Yet they shall be ministers
H4720
in my sanctuary,
H6486
having charge
H8179
at the gates
H1004
of the house,
H8334 [H8764]
and ministering
H1004
to the house:
H7819 [H8799]
they shall slay
H5930
the burnt offering
H2077
and the sacrifice
H5971
for the people,
H5975 [H8799]
and they shall stand
H6440
at the face of
H8334 [H8763]
them to minister to them.
12
H8334 [H8762]
Because they ministered
H6440
to them at the face of
H1544
their idols,
H1004
and caused the house
H3478
of Israel
H4383
to fall
H5771
into perversity;
H5375 [H8804]
therefore have I lifted up
H3027
my hand
H5002 [H8803]
against them, saith
H136
the Sovereign
H3069
LORD,
H5375 [H8804]
and they shall bear
H5771
their perversity.
13
H5066 [H8799]
And they shall not come near
H3547 [H8763]
to me, to do the office of a priest
H5066 [H8800]
to me, nor to come near
H6944
to any of my holy things,
H6944
in the most holy
H5375 [H8804]
place: but they shall bear
H3639
their disgrace,
H8441
and their abominations
H6213 [H8804]
which they have committed.
14
H5414 [H8804]
But I will make
H8104 [H8802]
them keepers
H4931
of the charge
H1004
of the house,
H5656
for all its service,
H6213 [H8735]
and for all that shall be done in it.
15
H3548
But the priests
H3881
the Levites,
H1121
the sons
H6659
of Zadok,
H8104 [H8804]
that kept
H4931
the charge
H4720
of my sanctuary
H1121
when the sons
H3478
of Israel
H8582 [H8800]
went astray
H7126 [H8799]
from me, they shall come near
H8334 [H8763]
to me to minister
H5975 [H8804]
to me, and they shall stand
H6440
at the face of
H7126 [H8687]
me to offer
H2459
to me the fat
H1818
and the blood,
H5002 [H8803]
saith
H136
the Sovereign
H3069
LORD:
16
H935 [H8799]
They shall enter
H4720
into my sanctuary,
H7126 [H8799]
and they shall come near
H7979
to my table,
H8334 [H8763]
to minister
H8104 [H8804]
to me, and they shall keep
H4931
my charge.
17
H935 [H8800]
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter
H8179
in at the gates
H6442
of the inner
H2691
court,
H3847 [H8799]
they shall be clothed
H6593
with linen
H899
garments;
H6785
and no wool
H5927 [H8799]
shall come
H8334 [H8763]
upon them, while they minister
H8179
in the gates
H6442
of the inner
H2691
court,
H1004
and within.
18
H6593
They shall have linen
H6287
headdresses
H7218
upon their heads,
H6593
and shall have linen
H4370
breeches
H4975
upon their loins;
H2296 [H8799]
they shall not gird
H3154
themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
19
H3318 [H8800]
And when they go forth
H2435
into the outer
H2691
court,
H2435
even into the outer
H2691
court
H5971
to the people,
H6584 [H8799]
they shall put off
H899
their garments
H8334 [H8764]
in which they ministered,
H3240 [H8689]
and lay
H6944
them in the holy
H3957
chambers,
H3847 [H8804]
and they shall put
H312
on other
H899
garments;
H6942 [H8762]
and they shall not sanctify
H5971
the people
H899
with their garments.
20
H1548 [H8762]
Neither shall they shave
H7218
their heads,
H6545
nor allow their locks
H7971 [H8762]
to grow long;
H3697 [H8800]
they shall only
H3697 [H8799]
cut the hair of
H7218
their heads.
21
H3548
Neither shall any priest
H8354 [H8799]
drink
H3196
wine,
H935 [H8800]
when they enter
H6442
into the inner
H2691
court.
22
H3947 [H8799]
Neither shall they take
H802
for their wives
H490
a widow,
H1644 [H8803]
nor her that is driven out:
H3947 [H8799]
but they shall take
H1330
virgins
H2233
of the seed
H1004
of the house
H3478
of Israel,
H490
or a widow
H3548
that had a priest before.
23
H3384 [H8686]
And they shall teach
H5971
my people
H6944
the difference between the holy
H2455
and profane,
H3045 [H8686]
and cause them to discern
H2931
between the unclean
H2889
and the clean.
24
H7379
And in controversy
H5975 [H8799]
they shall stand
H8199 [H8800]
in judgment;
H8199 [H8799]
and they shall judge
H4941
it according to my judgments:
H8104 [H8799]
and they shall keep
H8451
my laws
H2708
and my statutes
H4150
in all my assemblies;
H6942 [H8762]
and they shall hallow
H7676
my sabbaths.
25
H935 [H8799]
And they shall come
H4191 [H8801]
near no dead
H120
person
H2930 [H8800]
to defile
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 [H8691]
they may defile themselves.
26
H310
And after
H2893
he is cleansed,
H5608 [H8799]
they shall reckon
H7651
to him seven
H3117
days.
27
H3117
And in the day
H935 [H8800]
that he goeth
H6944
into the sanctuary,
H6442
to the inner
H2691
court,
H8334 [H8763]
to minister
H6944
in the sanctuary,
H7126 [H8686]
he shall offer
H2403
his sin offering,
H5002 [H8803]
saith
H136
the Sovereign
H3069
LORD.
28
H5159
And it shall be to them for an inheritance:
H5159
I am their inheritance:
H5414 [H8799]
and ye shall give
H272
them no possession
H3478
in Israel:
H272
I am their possession.
29
H398 [H8799]
They shall eat
H4503
the meat offering,
H2403
and the sin offering,
H817
and the guilt offering;
H2764
and every secluded 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 [H8799]
ye shall also give
H3548
to the priest
H7225
the first
H6182
of your dough,
H1293
that he may cause the blessing
H5117 [H8687]
to rest
H1004
in thy house.
