Then he brought me backH7725 the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 of the outwardH2435 sanctuaryH4720 which lookethH6437 toward the eastH6921; and it was shutH5462.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me; This gateH8179 shall be shutH5462, it shall not be openedH6605, and no manH376 shall enterH935 in by it; because the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hath enteredH935 in by it, therefore it shall be shutH5462.
It is for the princeH5387; the princeH5387, he shall sitH3427 in it to eatH398 breadH3899 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; he shall enterH935 by the wayH1870 of the porchH197 of that gateH8179, and shall go outH3318 by the wayH1870 of the same.
Then broughtH935 he me the wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 beforeH6440 the houseH1004: and I lookedH7200, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, markH7760 wellH3820, and beholdH7200 with thine eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with thine earsH241 all that I sayH1696 unto thee concerning all the ordinancesH2708 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the lawsH8451 thereof; and markH7760 wellH3820 the entering inH3996 of the houseH1004, with every going forthH4161 of the sanctuaryH4720. {mark well: Heb. set thine heart} {mark well: Heb. set thine heart}
And thou shalt sayH559 to the rebelliousH4805, even to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, let it sufficeH7227 you of all your abominationsH8441,
In that ye have broughtH935 into my sanctuary strangersH1121+H5236, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, to be in my sanctuaryH4720, to polluteH2490 it, even my houseH1004, when ye offerH7126 my breadH3899, the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, and they have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285 becauseH413 of all your abominationsH8441. {strangers: Heb. children of a stranger}
And ye have not keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of mine holy thingsH6944: but ye have setH7760 keepersH8104 of my chargeH4931 in my sanctuaryH4720 for yourselves. {my charge: or, my ward, or, ordinance}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; No strangerH1121+H5236, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, nor uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, shall enterH935 into my sanctuaryH4720, of any stranger that is amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LevitesH3881 that are gone away farH7368 from me, when IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582, which went astray awayH8582 from me afterH310 their idolsH1544; they shall even bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.
Yet they shall be ministersH8334 in my sanctuaryH4720, having chargeH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004, and ministeringH8334 to the houseH1004: they shall slayH7819 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 unto them.
Because they ministeredH8334 unto them beforeH6440 their idolsH1544, and caused the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to fallH4383 into iniquityH5771; therefore have I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 against them, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771. {caused…: Heb. were for a stumblingblock of iniquity unto, etc}
And they shall not come nearH5066 unto me, to do the office of a priestH3547 unto me, nor to come nearH5066 to any of my holy thingsH6944, in the most holyH6944 place: but they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639, and their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.
But I will makeH5414 them keepersH8104 of the chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, for all the serviceH5656 thereof, and for all that shall be doneH6213 therein.
But the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of my sanctuaryH4720 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582 from me, they shall come nearH7126 to me to ministerH8334 unto me, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 me to offerH7126 unto me the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069:
They shall enterH935 into my sanctuaryH4720, and they shall come nearH7126 to my tableH7979, to ministerH8334 unto me, and they shall keepH8104 my chargeH4931.
And it shall come to pass, that when they enterH935 in at the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691, they shall be clothedH3847 with linenH6593 garmentsH899; and no woolH6785 shall comeH5927 upon them, whiles they ministerH8334 in the gatesH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691, and withinH1004.
They shall have linenH6593 bonnetsH6287 upon their headsH7218, and shall have linenH6593 breechesH4370 upon their loinsH4975; they shall not girdH2296 themselves with any thing that causeth sweatH3154. {with…: or, in sweating places: Heb. in, or, with sweat}
And when they go forthH3318 into the utterH2435 courtH2691, even into the utterH2435 courtH2691 to the peopleH5971, they shall put offH6584 their garmentsH899 wherein they ministeredH8334, and layH3240 them in the holyH6944 chambersH3957, and they shall putH3847 on otherH312 garmentsH899; and they shall not sanctifyH6942 the peopleH5971 with their garmentsH899.
Neither shall they shaveH1548 their headsH7218, nor suffer their locksH6545 to grow longH7971; they shall onlyH3697 pollH3697 their headsH7218.
Neither shall any priestH3548 drinkH8354 wineH3196, when they enterH935 into the innerH6442 courtH2691.
Neither shall they takeH3947 for their wivesH802 a widowH490, nor her that is put awayH1644: but they shall takeH3947 maidensH1330 of the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or a widowH490 that had a priestH3548 before. {put…: Heb. thrust forth} {that had…: Heb. from a priest}
And they shall teachH3384 my peopleH5971 the difference between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, and cause them to discernH3045 between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889.
And in controversyH7379 they shall standH5975 in judgmentH8199; and they shall judgeH8199 it according to my judgmentsH4941: and they shall keepH8104 my lawsH8451 and my statutesH2708 in all mine assembliesH4150; and they shall hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676.
And they shall comeH935 at no deadH4191 personH120 to defileH2930 themselves: but for fatherH1, or for motherH517, or for sonH1121, or for daughterH1323, for brotherH251, or for sisterH269 that hath had no husbandH376, they may defileH2930 themselves.
And afterH310 he is cleansedH2893, they shall reckonH5608 unto him sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And in the dayH3117 that he goethH935 into the sanctuaryH6944, unto the innerH6442 courtH2691, to ministerH8334 in the sanctuaryH6944, he shall offerH7126 his sin offeringH2403, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And it shall be unto them for an inheritanceH5159: I am their inheritanceH5159: and ye shall giveH5414 them no possessionH272 in IsraelH3478: I am their possessionH272.
They shall eatH398 the meat offeringH4503, and the sin offeringH2403, and the trespass offeringH817; and every dedicated thingH2764 in IsraelH3478 shall be theirs. {dedicated: or, devoted}
And the firstH7225 of all the firstfruitsH1061 of all things, and every oblationH8641 of all, of every sort of your oblationsH8641, shall be the priest'sH3548: ye shall also giveH5414 unto the priestH3548 the firstH7225 of your doughH6182, that he may cause the blessingH1293 to restH5117 in thine houseH1004. {And the first: or, And the chief}
The priestsH3548 shall not eatH398 of any thing that is dead of itselfH5038, or tornH2966, whether it be fowlH5775 or beastH929.

But I will makeH5414 them keepersH8104 of the chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, for all the serviceH5656 thereof, and for all that shall be doneH6213 therein.
But the priestsH3548 were too fewH4592, so that they couldH3201 not flayH6584 all the burnt offeringsH5930: wherefore their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 did helpH2388 them, till the workH4399 was endedH3615, and until the other priestsH3548 had sanctifiedH6942 themselves: for the LevitesH3881 were more uprightH3477 in heartH3824 to sanctifyH6942 themselves than the priestsH3548. {did help…: Heb. strengthened them}
Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 unto you, that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath separatedH914 you from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bring you nearH7126 to himself to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 unto them?
And he saidH1696 unto me, ThisH2090 chamberH3957, whose prospectH6440 is towardH1870 the southH1864, is for the priestsH3548, the keepersH8104 of the chargeH4931 of the houseH1004. {charge: or, ward, or, ordinance}
For there were manyH7227 in the congregationH6951 that were not sanctifiedH6942: therefore the LevitesH3881 had the charge of the killingH7821 of the passoversH6453 for every one that was not cleanH2889, to sanctifyH6942 them unto the LORDH3068.
And I, behold, I have takenH3947 your brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: to you they are givenH5414 as a giftH4979 for the LORDH3068, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
Concerning the divisionsH4256 of the portersH7778: Of the KorhitesH7145 was MeshelemiahH4920 the sonH1121 of KoreH6981, of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623. {Meshelemiah: or, Shelemiah, ver.14.} {Asaph: or, Abiasaph Chap.9.19.& 6.37.}
And the sonsH1121 of MeshelemiahH4920 were, ZechariahH2148 the firstbornH1060, JediaelH3043 the secondH8145, ZebadiahH2069 the thirdH7992, JathnielH3496 the fourthH7243,
ElamH5867 the fifthH2549, JehohananH3076 the sixthH8345, ElioenaiH454 the seventhH7637.
Moreover the sonsH1121 of ObededomH5654 were, ShemaiahH8098 the firstbornH1060, JehozabadH3075 the secondH8145, JoahH3098 the thirdH7992, and SacarH7940 the fourthH7243, and NethaneelH5417 the fifthH2549,
AmmielH5988 the sixthH8345, IssacharH3485 the seventhH7637, PeulthaiH6469 the eighthH8066: for GodH430 blessedH1288 him. {him: that is, Obededom}
Also unto ShemaiahH8098 his sonH1121 were sonsH1121 bornH3205, that ruledH4474 throughout the houseH1004 of their fatherH1: for they were mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
The sonsH1121 of ShemaiahH8098; OthniH6273, and RephaelH7501, and ObedH5744, ElzabadH443, whose brethrenH251 were strongH2428 menH1121, ElihuH453, and SemachiahH5565.
All these of the sonsH1121 of ObededomH5654: they and their sonsH1121 and their brethrenH251, ableH2428 menH376 for strengthH3581 for the serviceH5656, were threescoreH8346 and twoH8147 of ObededomH5654.
And MeshelemiahH4920 had sonsH1121 and brethrenH251, strongH2428 menH1121, eighteenH8083+H6240.
Also HosahH2621, of the childrenH1121 of MerariH4847, had sonsH1121; SimriH8113 the chiefH7218, (for though he was not the firstbornH1060, yet his fatherH1 madeH7760 him the chiefH7218;)
HilkiahH2518 the secondH8145, TebaliahH2882 the thirdH7992, ZechariahH2148 the fourthH7243: all the sonsH1121 and brethrenH251 of HosahH2621 were thirteenH7969+H6240.
Among these were the divisionsH4256 of the portersH7778, even among the chiefH7218 menH1397, having wardsH4931 one againstH5980 anotherH251, to ministerH8334 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they castH5307 lotsH1486, as well the smallH6996 as the greatH1419, according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, for every gateH8179. {as well…: or, as well for the small as for the great}
And the lotH1486 eastwardH4217 fellH5307 to ShelemiahH8018. Then for ZechariahH2148 his sonH1121, a wiseH7922 counsellorH3289, they castH5307 lotsH1486; and his lotH1486 came outH3318 northwardH6828. {Shelemiah: also called Meshelemiah, ver.I.}
To ObededomH5654 southwardH5045; and to his sonsH1121 the houseH1004 of AsuppimH624. {Asuppim: Heb. gatherings}
To ShuppimH8206 and HosahH2621 the lot came forth westwardH4628, with the gateH8179 ShallechethH7996, by the causewayH4546 of the going upH5927, wardH4929 againstH5980 wardH4929.
EastwardH4217 were sixH8337 LevitesH3881, northwardH6828 fourH702 a dayH3117, southwardH5045 fourH702 a dayH3117, and toward AsuppimH624 twoH8147 and twoH8147.
At ParbarH6503 westwardH4628, fourH702 at the causewayH4546, and twoH8147 at ParbarH6503.
These are the divisionsH4256 of the portersH7778 among the sonsH1121 of KoreH7145, and among the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847.
