Legacy Standard Bible
9 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “(A)No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the sons of Israel, shall enter My sanctuary. 10 But the Levites who went far from Me when Israel went astray, who (B)went astray from Me after their idols, shall (C)bear the punishment for their iniquity. 11 Yet they shall be (D)ministers in My sanctuary, having (E)oversight at the gates of the house and (F)ministering in the house; they shall (G)slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall (H)stand before them to minister to them. 12 Because they ministered to them (I)before their idols and became a (J)stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have [a](K)sworn against them,” declares Lord Yahweh, “that they shall (L)bear the punishment for their iniquity. 13 And they shall (M)not approach Me to minister as a priest to Me, nor approach any of My holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will (N)bear their dishonor and their abominations which they have done. 14 Yet I will [b]appoint them as (O)keepers of the responsibility for the house, of all its service and of all that shall be done in it.

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.
