Ezekiel 44:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ They shall not come near me to minister as priests; they may not touch any of my holy things, for they must bear their shame for all the sins they have committed. ¹⁴ They are the Temple caretakers, to do maintenance work and to assist the people in a general way.

¹⁵ “However, the sons of Zadok, of the tribe of Levi, continued as my priests in the Temple when Israel abandoned me for idols. These men shall be my ministers; they shall stand before me to offer the fat and blood of the sacrifices,” says the Lord God.
