Ezekiel 44:6-14

Ezekiel 44:6-14

[6] And thou shalt say  to the rebellious,  even to the house  of Israel,  Thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  O ye house  of Israel,  let it suffice  you of all your abominations,  [7] In that ye have brought  into my sanctuary strangers,  uncircumcised  in heart,  and uncircumcised  in flesh,  to be in my sanctuary,  to pollute  it, even my house,  when ye offer  my bread,  the fat  and the blood,  and they have broken  my covenant  because  of all your abominations.  [8] And ye have not kept  the charge  of mine holy things:  but ye have set  keepers  of my charge  in my sanctuary  for yourselves. [9] Thus saith  the Lord  No stranger,  uncircumcised  in heart,  nor uncircumcised  in flesh,  shall enter  into my sanctuary,  of any stranger that is among  the children  of Israel.  [10] And the Levites  that are gone away far  from me, when Israel  went astray,  from me after  their idols;  they shall even bear  their iniquity.  [11] Yet they shall be ministers  in my sanctuary,  having charge  at the gates  of the house,  and ministering  to the house:  they shall slay  the burnt offering  and the sacrifice  for the people,  and they shall stand  before  them to minister  [12] Because they ministered  unto them before  their idols,  and caused the house  of Israel  to fall  into iniquity;  therefore have I lifted up  mine hand  against them, saith  the Lord  GOD,  and they shall bear  their iniquity.  [13] And they shall not come near  unto me, to do the office of a priest  unto me, nor to come near  to any of my holy things,  place: but they shall bear  their shame,  and their abominations  which they have committed.  [14] But I will make  them keepers  of the charge  of the house,  for all the service  thereof, and for all that shall be done  therein.
