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.
