26:044:007 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary
strangers,
uncircumcised
in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in
my
sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer
my
bread,
the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant
because
of all your abominations.
26:044:008 And ye have not kept the charge of mine
holy things: but ye
have
set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
26:044:009 Thus saith the Lord god; No stranger,
uncircumcised in heart,
nor
uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary,
of
any
stranger that is among the children of Israel.
26:044:010 And the Levites that are gone away far
from me, when Israel
went
astray, which went astray away from me after their
idols;
they
shall even bear their iniquity.
26:044:011 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary,
having charge at
the
gates of the house, and ministering to the house:
they
shall
slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the
people,
and they shall stand before them to minister unto
them.
26:044:012 Because they ministered unto them before
their idols, and
caused
the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore
have
I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord
god,
and
they shall bear their iniquity.
26:044:013 And they 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
the
most holy place: but they shall bear their shame,
and
their
abominations which they have committed.
26:044:014 But I will make them keepers of the charge
of the house, for
all
the service thereof, and for all that shall be done
therein.
26:044:015 But the priests the Levites, the sons of
Zadok, that kept the
charge
of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray
from
me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me,
and
they
shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and
the
blood,
saith the Lord god:
26:044:016 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and
they shall come near
to
my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep
my
charge.
26:044:017 And it shall come to pass, that when they
enter in at the
gates
of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen
garments;
and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they
minister
in the gates of the inner court, and within.
26:044:018 They shall have linen bonnets upon their
heads, and shall have
linen
breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird
themselves
with any thing that causeth sweat.
