Ezekiel 44:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ You brought foreigners into my ·Holy Place [sanctuary] who were not circumcised in the flesh and ·had not given themselves to serving me [^Luncircumcised in the heart; Jer. 9:26; Acts 7:51]. You ·dishonored [defiled; profaned; ^Critually] my ·Temple [^Lhouse] when you offered me food, fat, and blood. You broke my ·agreement [covenant; treaty] by all ·the things you did that I hate [your detestable/abominable acts]. ⁸ You did not take ·care [charge] of my holy things yourselves but put ·foreigners [or others] ·in charge of [to take care of] my ·Temple [sanctuary]. ⁹ This is what the Lord God says: Foreigners who ·do not give themselves to serving me [^Lare uncircumcised in heart] and who are uncircumcised in flesh may not enter my ·Temple [sanctuary]. Not even a foreigner living among the ·people [^Lsons/^Tchildren] of Israel may enter.
