and it {was} shut5462. 44:2 Then said0559 the LORD3068 unto me; This gate8179 shall be shut5462, it shall not be opened6605, and no man0376 shall enter0935 in by it; because the LORD3068, the God0430 of Israel3478, hath entered0935 in by it, therefore it shall be shut5462. 44:3 {It is} for the prince5387; the prince5387, he shall sit3427 in it to eat0398 bread3899 before6440 the LORD3068; he shall enter0935 by the way1870 of the porch0197 of {that} gate8179, and shall go out3318 by the way1870 of the same. 44:4 Then brought0935 he me the way1870 of the north6828 gate8179 before6440 the house1004: and I looked7200, and, behold, the glory3519 of the LORD3068 filled4390 the house1004 of the LORD3068: and I fell5307 upon my face6440. 44:5 And the LORD3068 said0559 unto me, Son1121 of man0120, mark7760 well3820, and behold7200 with thine eyes5869, and hear8085 with thine ears0241 all that I say1696 unto thee concerning all the ordinances2708 of the house1004 of the LORD3068, and all the laws8451 thereof; and mark7760 well3820 the entering in3996 of the house1004, with every going forth4161 of the sanctuary4720. 44:6 And thou shalt say0559 to the rebellious4805, {even} to the house1004 of Israel3478, Thus saith0559 the Lord0136 GOD3069; O ye house1004 of Israel3478, let it suffice7227 you of all your abominations8441, 44:7 In that ye have brought0935 {into my sanctuary} strangers1121-5236, uncircumcised6189 in heart3820, and uncircumcised6189 in flesh1320, to be in my sanctuary4720, to pollute2490 it, {even} my house1004, when ye offer7126 my bread3899, the fat2459 and the blood1818, and they have broken6565 my covenant1285 because0413 of all your abominations8441. 44:8 And ye have not kept8104 the charge4931 of mine holy things6944: but ye have set7760 keepers8104 of my charge4931 in my sanctuary4720 for yourselves. 44:9 Thus saith0559 the Lord0136 GOD3069; No stranger1121-5236, uncircumcised6189 in heart3820, nor uncircumcised6189 in flesh1320, shall enter0935 into my sanctuary4720, of any stranger that {is} among8432 the children1121 of Israel3478. 44:10 And the Levites3881 that are gone away far7368 from me, when Israel3478 went astray8582, which went astray away8582 from me after0310 their idols1544; they shall even bear5375 their iniquity5771. 44:11 Yet they shall be ministers8334 in my sanctuary4720, {having} charge6486 at the gates8179 of the house1004, and ministering8334 to the house1004: they shall slay7819 the burnt offering5930 and the sacrifice2077 for the people5971, and they shall stand5975 before6440 them to minister8334 unto them. 44:12 Because they ministered8334 unto them before6440 their idols1544, and caused the house1004 of Israel3478 to fall4383 into iniquity5771; therefore have I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 against them, saith5002 the Lord0136 GOD3069, and they shall bear5375 their iniquity5771. 44:13 And they shall not come near5066 unto me, to do the office of a priest3547 unto me, nor to come near5066 to any of my holy things6944, in the most holy6944 {place}: but they shall bear5375 their shame3639, and their abominations8441 which they have committed6213. 44:14 But I will make5414 them keepers8104 of the charge4931 of the house1004, for all the service5656 thereof, and for all that shall be done6213 therein. 44:15 But the priests3548 the Levites3881, the sons1121 of Zadok6659, that kept8104 the charge4931 of my sanctuary4720 when the children1121 of Israel3478 went astray8582 from me, they shall come near7126 to me to minister8334 unto me, and they shall stand5975 before6440 me to offer7126 unto me the fat2459 and the blood1818, saith5002 the Lord0136 GOD3069: 44:16 They shall enter0935 into my sanctuary4720, and they shall come near7126 to my table7979, to minister8334 unto me, and they shall keep8104 my charge4931. 44:17 And it shall come to pass, {that} when they enter0935 in at the gates8179 of the inner6442 court2691, they shall be clothed3847 with linen6593 garments0899; and no wool6785 shall come5927 upon them, whiles they minister8334 in the gates8179 of the inner6442 court2691, and within1004. 44:18 They shall have linen6593 bonnets6287 upon their heads7218, and shall have linen6593 breeches4370 upon their loins4975; they shall not gird2296 {themselves} with any thing that causeth sweat3154. 44:19 And when they go forth3318 into the utter2435 court2691, {even} into the utter2435 court2691 to the people5971, they shall put off6584 their garments0899 wherein they ministered8334, and lay3240 them in the holy6944 chambers3957, and they shall put3847 on other0312 garments0899; and they shall not sanctify6942 the people5971 with their garments0899. 44:20 Neither shall they shave1548 their heads7218, nor suffer their locks6545 to grow long7971; they shall only3697 poll3697 their heads7218. 44:21 Neither shall any priest3548 drink8354 wine3196, when they enter0935 into the inner6442 court2691. 44:22 Neither shall they take3947 for their wives0802 a widow0490, nor her that is put away1644: but they shall take3947 maidens1330 of the seed2233 of the house1004 of Israel3478, or a widow0490 that had a priest3548 before. 44:23 And they shall teach3384 my people5971 {the difference} between the holy6944 and profane2455, and cause them to discern3045 between the unclean2931 and the clean2889. 44:24 And in controversy7379 they shall stand5975 in judgment8199; {and} they shall judge8199 it according to my judgments4941: and they shall keep8104 my laws8451 and my statutes2708 in all mine assemblies4150; and they shall hallow6942 my sabbaths7676. 44:25 And they shall come0935 at no dead4191 person0120 to defile2930 themselves: but for father0001, or for mother0517, or for son1121, or for daughter1323, for brother0251, or for sister0269 that hath had no husband0376, they may defile2930 themselves. 44:26 And after0310 he is cleansed2893, they shall reckon5608 unto him seven7651 days3117. 44:27 And in the day3117 that he goeth0935 into the sanctuary6944, unto the inner6442 court2691, to minister8334 in the sanctuary6944, he shall offer7126 his sin offering2403, saith5002 the Lord0136 GOD3069. 44:28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance5159: I {am} their inheritance5159: and ye shall give5414 them no possession0272 in Israel3478: I {am} their possession0272. 44:29 They shall eat0398 the meat offering4503, and the sin offering2403, and the trespass offering0817; and every dedicated thing2764 in Israel3478 shall be theirs. 44:30 And the first7225 of all the firstfruits1061 of all {things}, and every oblation8641 of all, of every {sort} of your oblations8641, shall be the priest's3548: ye shall also give5414 unto the priest3548 the first7225 of your dough6182, that he may cause the blessing1293 to rest5117 in thine house1004. 44:31 The priests3548 shall not eat0398 of any thing that is dead of itself5038, or torn2966, whether it be fowl5775 or beast0929.
