Ezekiel 44:9–16

⁹Thus saith the Lord God; ⁿNo stranger, ^ouncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. ¹⁰And ^uthe Levites that are gone away far from me, ^uwhen Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even ^vbear their iniquity. ¹¹Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having ^wcharge ^xat the gates of the house, and ^xxministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and ^ythey shall stand before them to minister unto them. ¹²Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I ^zlift up mine hand against them, saith the Lord God, and ^vthey shall bear their iniquity. ¹³And ^athey shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in ^bthe most holy place: but ^cthey shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. ¹⁴But I will make them ^dekeepers of the charge of the house, ^efor all the service thereof, and ^efor all that shall be done therein. ¹⁵But ^eethe priests the Levites, ^efthe sons of Zadok, ^dthat kept the charge of my sanctuary ^uwhen the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me ^fto minister unto me, and ^fthey shall stand before me ^gto offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God: ¹⁶They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to ^hmy table, ^fto minister unto me, and ^dthey shall keep my charge.
