1. Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
|
1. Then he brought me back H7725 H853 the way H1870 of the gate H8179 of the outward H2435 sanctuary H4720 which looketh H6437 toward the east H6921 ; and it H1931 was shut H5462 .
|
|
2. Yahweh said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.
|
2. Then said H559 the LORD H3068 unto H413 me; This H2088 gate H8179 shall be H1961 shut H5462 , it shall not H3808 be opened H6605 , and no H3808 man H376 shall enter in H935 by it; because H3588 the LORD H3068 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 , hath entered in H935 by it , therefore it shall be H1961 shut H5462 .
|
|
3. As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before Yahweh; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
|
3. It is H853 for the prince H5387 ; the prince H5387 , he H1931 shall sit H3427 in it to eat H398 bread H3899 before H6440 the LORD H3068 ; he shall enter H935 by the way H4480 H1870 of the porch H197 of that gate H8179 , and shall go out H3318 by the way H4480 H1870 of the same.
|
|
4. Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and, behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh: and I fell on my face.
|
4. Then brought H935 he me the way H1870 of the north H6828 gate H8179 before H413 H6440 the house H1004 : and I looked H7200 , and, behold H2009 , the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 filled H4390 H853 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 : and I fell H5307 upon H413 my face H6440 .
|
|
5. Yahweh said to me, Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the house of Yahweh, and all the laws of it; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
|
5. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Son H1121 of man H120 , mark well H7760 H3820 , and behold H7200 with thine eyes H5869 , and hear H8085 with thine ears H241 H853 all H3605 that H834 I H589 say H1696 unto thee concerning all H3605 the ordinances H2708 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and all H3605 the laws H8451 thereof ; and mark well H7760 H3820 the entering in H3996 of the house H1004 , with every H3605 going forth H4161 of the sanctuary H4720 .
|
|
6. You shall tell the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
|
6. And thou shalt say H559 to H413 the rebellious H4805 , even to H413 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; O ye house H1004 of Israel H3478 , let it suffice H7227 you of H4480 all H3605 your abominations H8441 ,
|
|
7. in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
|
7. In that ye have brought H935 into my sanctuary strangers H1121 H5236 , uncircumcised H6189 in heart H3820 , and uncircumcised H6189 in flesh H1320 , to be H1961 in my sanctuary H4720 , to pollute H2490 it, even H853 my house H1004 , when ye offer H7126 H853 my bread H3899 , the fat H2459 and the blood H1818 , and they have broken H6565 H853 my covenant H1285 because of H413 all H3605 your abominations H8441 .
|
|
8. You have not kept the charge of my holy things; but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
|
8. And ye have not H3808 kept H8104 the charge H4931 of mine holy things H6944 : but ye have set H7760 keepers H8104 of my charge H4931 in my sanctuary H4720 for yourselves.
|
|
9. Thus says the Lord Yahweh, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
|
9. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; No H3808 H3605 stranger H1121 H5236 , uncircumcised H6189 in heart H3820 , nor uncircumcised H6189 in flesh H1320 , shall enter H935 into H413 my sanctuary H4720 , of any H3605 stranger H1121 H5236 that H834 is among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
10. But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
|
10. And H3588 H518 the Levites H3881 that H834 are gone away far H7368 from H4480 H5921 me , when Israel H3478 went astray H8582 , which H834 went astray H8582 away from H4480 H5921 me after H310 their idols H1544 ; they shall even bear H5375 their iniquity H5771 .
|
|
11. Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
|
11. Yet they shall be H1961 ministers H8334 in my sanctuary H4720 , having charge H6486 at H413 the gates H8179 of the house H1004 , and ministering H8334 H853 to the house H1004 : they H1992 shall slay H7819 H853 the burnt offering H5930 and the sacrifice H2077 for the people H5971 , and they H1992 shall stand H5975 before H6440 them to minister H8334 unto them.
|
|
12. Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear their iniquity.
|
12. Because H3282 H834 they ministered unto H8334 H853 them before H6440 their idols H1544 , and caused H1961 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 to fall H4383 into iniquity H5771 ; therefore H5921 H3651 have I lifted up H5375 mine hand H3027 against H5921 them, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 , and they shall bear H5375 their iniquity H5771 .
|
|
13. They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
|
13. And they shall not H3808 come near H5066 unto H413 me , to do the office of a priest H3547 unto me , nor to come near H5066 to H5921 any H3605 of my holy things H6944 , in H413 the most holy H6944 H6944 place : but they shall bear H5375 their shame H3639 , and their abominations H8441 which H834 they have committed H6213 .
|
|
14. Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that shall be done therein.
|
14. But I will make H5414 them keepers H8104 of the charge H4931 of the house H1004 , for all H3605 the service H5656 thereof , and for all H3605 that H834 shall be done H6213 therein.
|
|
15. But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Yahweh:
|
15. But the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 , the sons H1121 of Zadok H6659 , that H834 kept H8104 H853 the charge H4931 of my sanctuary H4720 when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went astray H8582 from H4480 H5921 me, they H1992 shall come near H7126 to H413 me to minister H8334 unto me , and they shall stand H5975 before H6440 me to offer H7126 unto me the fat H2459 and the blood H1818 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 :
|
|
16. they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge.
|
16. They H1992 shall enter H935 into H413 my sanctuary H4720 , and they H1992 shall come near H7126 to H413 my table H7979 , to minister H8334 unto me , and they shall keep H8104 H853 my charge H4931 .
|
|
17. It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
|
17. And it shall come to pass H1961 , that when they enter in H935 at H413 the gates H8179 of the inner H6442 court H2691 , they shall be clothed with H3847 linen H6593 garments H899 ; and no H3808 wool H6785 shall come H5927 upon H5921 them , while they minister H8334 in the gates H8179 of the inner H6442 court H2691 , and within H1004 .
|
|
18. They shall have linen tires on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat.

|
|
19. When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
|
19. And when they go forth H3318 into H413 the utter H2435 court H2691 , even into H413 the utter H2435 court H2691 to H413 the people H5971 , they shall put off H6584 H853 their garments H899 wherein H834 they H1992 ministered H8334 , and lay H5117 them in the holy H6944 chambers H3957 , and they shall put on H3847 other H312 garments H899 ; and they shall not H3808 sanctify H6942 H853 the people H5971 with their garments H899 .
|
|
20. Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
|
20. Neither H3808 shall they shave H1548 their heads H7218 , nor H3808 suffer their locks H6545 to grow long H7971 ; they shall only poll H3697 H3697 H853 their heads H7218 .

22. Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
|
22. Neither H3808 shall they take H3947 for their wives H802 a widow H490 , nor her that is put away H1644 : but H3588 H518 they shall take H3947 maidens H1330 of the seed H4480 H2233 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , or a widow H490 that H834 had H1961 a priest H4480 H3548 before.
|
|
23. They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
|
23. And they shall teach H3384 my people H5971 the difference between H996 the holy H6944 and profane H2455 , and cause them to discern H3045 between H996 the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 .

|
25. And they shall come H935 at H413 no H3808 dead H4191 person H120 to defile H2930 themselves: but H3588 H518 for father H1 , or for mother H517 , or for son H1121 , or for daughter H1323 , for brother H251 , or for sister H269 that H834 hath had H1961 no H3808 husband H376 , they may defile themselves H2930 .
