26:044:012 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity. 26:044:013 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. 26:044:014 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein. 26:044:015 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: 26:044:016 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. 26:044:017 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. 26:044:018 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat. 26:044:019 And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments. 26:044:020 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. 26:044:021 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 26:044:022 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before. 26:044:023 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 26:044:024 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
