Ezekiel 44:1-18

44:1

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)_.

44:2

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)_.

44:3

[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.

44:4

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>_.

44:5

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>_.

{mark well: Heb. set thine heart} {mark well: Heb. set thine heart}

44:6

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>_,

44:7

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>_.

{strangers: Heb. children of a stranger}

44:8

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. {my charge: or, my ward, or, ordinance}

44:9

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>_.

44:10

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>_.

44:11

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.

44:12

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>_.

{caused...: Heb. were for a stumblingblock of iniquity unto, etc}

44:13

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)_.

44:14

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.

44:15

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>_:

44:16

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>_.

44:17

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>_.

44:18

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>_.

{with...: or, in sweating places: Heb. in, or, with sweat}
