V.1 Then he brought me back 7725-55 the way 1870 of the gate 8179 of the outward 2435 sanctuary 4720 which looketh 6437-6 toward the east; 6921 and it [was] shut. 5462-7

44:2 Then said 559-4 the LORD 3068 unto me; This gate 8179 shall be shut, 5462-7 it shall not be opened, 6605-11 and no man 376 shall enter in 935-4 by it; because the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of Israel, 3478 hath entered in 935-1 by it, therefore it shall be shut. 5462-7

44:3 [It is] for the prince; 5387 the prince, 5387 he shall sit 3427-4 in it to eat 398-2 bread 3899 before 6440 the LORD; 3068 he shall enter 935-4 by the way 1870 of the porch 197 of [that] gate, 8179 and shall go out 3318-4 by the way 1870 of the same.

44:4 Then brought 935-55 he me the way 1870 of the north 6828 gate 8179 before 6440 the house: 1004 and I looked, 7200-4 and, behold, the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 filled 4390-1 the house 1004 of the LORD: 3068 and I fell 5307-4 upon my face. 6440

44:5 And the LORD 3068 said 559-4 unto me, Son 1121 of man, 120 mark 7760-3 well, 3820 and behold 7200-3 with thine eyes, 5869 and hear 8085-3 with thine ears 241 all that I say 1696- 18 unto thee concerning all the ordinances 2708 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and all the laws 8451 thereof; and mark 7760-1 well 3820 the entering in 3996 of the house, 1004 with every going forth 4161 of the sanctuary. 4720

44:6 And thou shalt say 559-1 to the rebellious, 4805 [even] to the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 O ye house 1004 of Israel, 3478 let it suffice 7227 you of all your abominations, 8441

44:7 In that ye have brought 935-53 [into my sanctuary] strangers, 1121 5236 uncircumcised 6189 in heart, 3820 and uncircumcised 6189 in flesh, 1320 to be in my sanctuary, 4720 to pollute 2490-15 it, [even] my house, 1004 when ye offer 7126-53 my bread, 3899 the fat 2459 and the blood, 1818 and they have broken 6565-55 my covenant 1285 because 413 of all your abominations. 8441

44:8 And ye have not kept 8104-1 the charge 4931 of mine holy things: 6944 but ye have set 7760-4 keepers 8104-6 of my charge 4931 in my sanctuary 4720 for yourselves.

44:9 Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 No stranger, 1121 5236 uncircumcised 6189 in heart, 3820 nor uncircumcised 6189 in flesh, 1320 shall enter 935-4 into my sanctuary, 4720 of any stranger 1121 5236 that [is] among 8432 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

44:10 And the Levites 3881 that are gone away far 7368-1 from me, when Israel 3478 went astray, 8582-2 which went astray away 8582-1 from me after 310 their idols; 1544 they shall even bear 5375-1 their iniquity. 5771

44:11 Yet they shall be ministers 8334-18 in my sanctuary, 4720 [having] charge 6486 at the gates 8179 of the house, 1004 and ministering 8334-18 to the house: 1004 they shall slay 7819-4 the burnt offering 5930 and the sacrifice 2077 for the people, 5971 and they shall stand 5975-4 before 6440 them to minister 8334-15 unto them.

44:12 Because they ministered 8334-17 unto them before 6440 their idols, 1544 and caused the house 1004 of Israel 3478 to fall 4383 into iniquity; 5771 therefore have I lifted up 5375-1 mine hand 3027 against them, saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 and they shall bear 5375-1 their iniquity. 5771

44:13 And they shall not come near 5066-4 unto me, to do the office of a priest 3547-15 unto me, nor to come near 5066-2 to any of my holy things, 6944 in the most 6944 holy 6944 [place]: but they shall bear 5375-1 their shame, 3639 and their abominations 8441 which they have committed. 6213-1

44:14 But I will make 5414-1 them keepers 8104-6 of the charge 4931 of the house, 1004 for all the service 5656 thereof, and for all that shall be done 6213-11 therein.

44:15 But the priests 3548 the Levites, 3881 the sons 1121 of Zadok, 6659 that kept 8104-1 the charge 4931 of my sanctuary 4720 when the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went astray 8582-2 from me, they shall come near 7126-4 to me to minister 8334- 15 unto me, and they shall stand 5975-1 before 6440 me to offer 7126-53 unto me the fat 2459 and the blood, 1818 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD: 3069

44:16 They shall enter 935-4 into my sanctuary, 4720 and they shall come near 7126-4 to my table, 7979 to minister 8334-15 unto me, and they shall keep 8104-1 my charge. 4931

44:17 And it shall come to pass, [that] when they enter in 935-2 at the gates 8179 of the inner 6442 court, 2691 they shall be clothed 3847-4 with linen 6593 garments; 899 and no wool 6785 shall come 5927-4 upon them, whiles they minister 8334-15 in the gates 8179 of the inner 6442 court, 2691 and within. 1004

44:18 They shall have linen 6593 bonnets 6287 upon their heads, 7218 and shall have linen 6593 breeches 4370 upon their loins; 4975 they shall not gird 2296-4 [themselves] with any thing that causeth sweat. 3154

44:19 And when they go forth 3318-2 into the utter 2435 court, 2691 [even] into the utter 2435 court 2691 to the people, 5971 they shall put off 6584-4 their garments 899 wherein they ministered, 8334-18 and lay 3240-52 them in the holy 6944 chambers, 3957 and they shall put 3847-1 on other 312 garments; 899 and they shall not sanctify 6942-17 the people 5971 with their garments. 899

44:20 Neither shall they shave 1548-17 their heads, 7218 nor suffer their locks 6545 to grow long; 7971-17 they shall only 3697-2 poll 3697-4 their heads. 7218

44:21 Neither shall any priest 3548 drink 8354-4 wine, 3196 when they enter 935-2 into the inner 6442 court. 2691

44:22 Neither shall they take 3947-4 for their wives 802 a widow, 490 nor her that is put away: 1644-7 but they shall take 3947-4 maidens 1330 of the seed 2233 of the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 or a widow 490 490 that had a priest 3548 before.

44:23 And they shall teach 3384-55 my people 5971 [the difference] between the holy 6944 and profane, 2455 and cause them to discern 3045-55 between the unclean 2931 and the clean. 2889

44:24 And in controversy 7379 they shall stand 5975-4 in judgment; 4941|8199-2-k [and] they shall judge 8199-4 it according to my judgments: 4941 and they shall keep 8104-4 my laws 8451 and my statutes 2708 in all mine assemblies; 4150 and they shall hallow 6942-17 my sabbaths. 7676

44:25 And they shall come 935-4 at no dead 4191-5 person 120 to defile 2930-2 themselves: but for father, 1 or for mother, 517 or for son, 1121 or for daughter, 1323 for brother, 251 or for sister 269 that hath had no husband, 376 they may defile 2930-101 themselves.

44:26 And after 310 he is cleansed, 2893 they shall reckon 5608-4 unto him seven 7651 days. 3117

44:27 And in the day 3117 that he goeth 935-2 into the sanctuary, 6944 unto the inner 6442 court, 2691 to minister 8334-15 in the sanctuary, 6944 he shall offer 7126-55 his sin offering, 2403 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD. 3069

44:28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: 5159 I [am] their inheritance: 5159 and ye shall give 5414-4 them no possession 272 in Israel: 3478 I [am] their possession. 272

44:29 They shall eat 398-4 the meat offering, 4503 and the sin offering, 2403 and the trespass offering; 817 and every dedicated thing 2764 in Israel 3478 shall be theirs.

44:30 And the first 7225 of all the firstfruits 1061 of all [things], and every oblation 8641 of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, 8641 shall be the priest's: 3548 ye shall also give 5414-4 unto the priest 3548 the first 7225 of your dough, 6182 that he may cause the blessing 1293 to rest 5117- 53 in thine house. 1004
