Ezekiel 44:7-31

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}

44:19

And when they go forth
<03318> (8800)

into the utter
<02435>

court
<02691>_,

[even] into the utter
<02435>

court
<02691>

to the people
<05971>_,

they shall put off
<06584> (8799)

their garments
<0899>

wherein they ministered
<08334> (8764)_,

and lay
<03240> (8689)

them in the holy
<06944>

chambers
<03957>_,

and they shall put
<03847> (8804)

on other
<0312>

garments
<0899>_;

and they shall not sanctify
<06942> (8762)

the people
<05971>

with their garments
<0899>_.

44:20

Neither shall they shave
<01548> (8762)

their heads
<07218>_,

nor suffer their locks
<06545>

to grow long
<07971> (8762)_;

they shall only
<03697> (8800)

poll
<03697> (8799)

their heads
<07218>_.

44:21

Neither shall any priest
<03548>

drink
<08354> (8799)

wine
<03196>_,

when they enter
<0935> (8800)

into the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>_.

44:22

Neither shall they take
<03947> (8799)

for their wives
<0802>

a widow
<0490>_,

nor her that is put away
<01644> (8803)_:

but they shall take
<03947> (8799)

maidens
<01330>

of the seed
<02233>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

or a widow
<0490>

that had a priest
<03548>

before. {put...: Heb. thrust forth} {that had...: Heb. from a priest}

44:23

And they shall teach
<03384> (8686)

my people
<05971>

[the difference] between the holy
<06944>

and profane
<02455>_,

and cause them to discern
<03045> (8686)

between the unclean
<02931>

and the clean
<02889>_.

44:24

And in controversy
<07379>

they shall stand
<05975> (8799)

in judgment
<08199> (8800)_;

[and] they shall judge
<08199> (8799)

it according to my judgments
<04941>_:

and they shall keep
<08104> (8799)

my laws
<08451>

and my statutes
<02708>

in all mine assemblies
<04150>_;

and they shall hallow
<06942> (8762)

my sabbaths
<07676>_.

44:25

And they shall come
<0935> (8799)

at no dead
<04191> (8801)

person
<0120>

to defile
<02930> (8800)

themselves: but for father
<01>_,

or for mother
<0517>_,

or for son
<01121>_,

or for daughter
<01323>_,

for brother
<0251>_,

or for sister
<0269>

that hath had no husband
<0376>_,

they may defile
<02930> (8691)

themselves.

44:26

And after
<0310>

he is cleansed
<02893>_,

they shall reckon
<05608> (8799)

unto him seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_.

44:27

And in the day
<03117>

that he goeth
<0935> (8800)

into the sanctuary
<06944>_,

unto the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>_,

to minister
<08334> (8763)

in the sanctuary
<06944>_,

he shall offer
<07126> (8686)

his sin offering
<02403>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

44:28

And it shall be unto them for an inheritance
<05159>_:

I [am] their inheritance
<05159>_:

and ye shall give
<05414> (8799)

them no possession
<0272>

in Israel
<03478>_:

I [am] their possession
<0272>_.

44:29

They shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the meat offering
<04503>_,

and the sin offering
<02403>_,

and the trespass offering
<0817>_;

and every dedicated thing
<02764>

in Israel
<03478>

shall be theirs. {dedicated: or, devoted}

44:30

And the first
<07225>

of all the firstfruits
<01061>

of all [things], and every oblation
<08641>

of all, of every [sort] of your oblations
<08641>_,

shall be the priest's
<03548>_:

ye shall also give
<05414> (8799)

unto the priest
<03548>

the first
<07225>

of your dough
<06182>_,

that he may cause the blessing
<01293>

to rest
<05117> (8687)

in thine house
<01004>_.

{And the first: or, And the chief}

44:31

The priests
<03548>

shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

of any thing that is dead of itself
<05038>_,

or torn
<02966>_,

whether it be fowl
<05775>

or beast
<0929>_.
