Ezekiel 44:9-14
American Standard Version

9 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that are among the children of Israel. 10 But the Levites that went far from me, when Israel went astray, that went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity. 11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them. 12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and became a stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. 14 Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

Ezekiel 44:9-14
Lexham English Bible

9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Every foreigner[a] uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh shall not come into my sanctuary—not any of the foreigners[b] who are in the midst of the Israelites.[c] 10 But[d] the Levites who removed themselves from me at the going astray of Israel,[e] who went astray from me and went after their idols, as a result they will bear their guilt. 11 Then they will be[f] in my sanctuary, those serving in my sanctuary, as sentries[g] at the gates of the temple[h] and as those serving the temple;[i] they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they will stand before them[j] to serve them, 12 because[k] they used to serve them before[l] their idols and they were for the house of Israel like a stumbling block of iniquity. Therefore I swore[m] concerning them,” declares[n] the Lord Yahweh, “that they will bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not approach me to serve as a priest for me and to come near to all of[o] my holy objects, to the most holy objects, [p] and they will bear their disgrace and the results of their detestable things they have done. 14 And I will appoint them as the keepers of the responsibility of[q] the temple, for all of its work[r] and everything [s]which will be done in it.
