who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity. 044:011 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them. 044:012 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear their iniquity. 044:013 They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. 044:014 Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that shall be done therein. 044:015 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Yahweh: 044:016 they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge. 044:017 It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. 044:018 They shall have linen tires on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their waists; they shall not gird themselves with [anything that causes] sweat. 044:019 When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments. 044:020 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads. 044:021 Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 044:022 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest. 044:023 They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 044:024 In a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws
