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.

And ye shall be holyH6944 menH582 unto me: neither shall ye eatH398 any fleshH1320 that is torn of beastsH2966 in the fieldH7704; ye shall castH7993 it to the dogsH3611.
And every soulH5315 that eatethH398 that which diedH5038 of itself, or that which was tornH2966 with beasts, whether it be one of your own countryH249, or a strangerH1616, he shall both washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 himself in waterH4325, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: then shall he be cleanH2891. {that which died…: Heb. a carcase}

Thou shalt not seetheH1310 a kidH1423 in his mother'sH517 milkH2461.
