Ezekiel 44:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ They shall not come near to me, to serve me as priest, nor come near any of my sacred offerings, the things that are most sacred, but they shall bear their shame and the consequences of the abominations that they have committed.^{(A) 14} Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of the temple, to do all its chores, all that is to be done in it.^(B)

The Levitical Priests

¹⁵ “But the Levitical priests, the descendants of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the people of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me, and they shall attend me to offer me the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.^(C)
