44:1 Then
he
brought
me
back
to
the
outer
gate
of
the
sanctuary,
which
faces
east.
And
it
was
shut.
44:2 And
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"This
gate
shall
remain
shut;
it
shall
not
be
opened,
and
no
one
shall
enter
by
it,
for
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
has
entered
by
it.
Therefore
it
shall
remain
shut.
44:3 Only
the
prince
may
sit
in
it
to
eat
bread
before
the
LORD.
He
shall
enter
by
way
of
the
vestibule
of
the
gate,
and
shall
go
out
by
the
same
way."
44:4 Then
he
brought
me
by
way
of
the
north
gate
to
the
front
of
the
temple,
and
I
looked,
and
behold,
the
glory
of
the
LORD
filled
the
temple
of
the
LORD.
And
I
fell
on
my
face.
44:5 And
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Son
of
man,
mark
well,
see
with
your
eyes,
and
hear
with
your
ears
all
that
I
shall
tell
you
concerning
all
the
statutes
of
the
temple
of
the
LORD
and
all
its
laws.
And
mark
well
the
entrance
to
the
temple
and
all
the
exits
from
the
sanctuary.
44:6 And
say
to
the
rebellious
house,
to
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
O
house
of
Israel,
enough
of
all
your
abominations,
44:7 in
admitting
foreigners,
uncircumcised
in
heart
and
flesh,
to
be
in
my
sanctuary,
profaning
my
temple,
when
you
offer
to
me
my
food,
the
fat
and
the
blood.
You
have
broken
my
covenant,
in
addition
to
all
your
abominations.
44:8 And
you
have
not
kept
charge
of
my
holy
things,
but
you
have
set
others
to
keep
my
charge
for
you
in
my
sanctuary.
44:9 "Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
No
foreigner,
uncircumcised
in
heart
and
flesh,
of
all
the
foreigners
who
are
among
the
people
of
Israel,
shall
enter
my
sanctuary.
44:10 But
the
Levites
who
went
far
from
me,
going
astray
from
me
after
their
idols
when
Israel
went
astray,
shall
bear
their
punishment.
44:11 They
shall
be
ministers
in
my
sanctuary,
having
oversight
at
the
gates
of
the
temple
and
ministering
in
the
temple.
They
shall
slaughter
the
burnt
offering
and
the
sacrifice
for
the
people,
and
they
shall
stand
before
the
people,
to
minister
to
them.
44:12 Because
they
ministered
to
them
before
their
idols
and
became
a
stumbling
block
of
iniquity
to
the
house
of
Israel,
therefore
I
have
sworn
concerning
them,
declares
the
Lord
GOD,
and
they
shall
bear
their
punishment.
44:13 They
shall
not
come
near
to
me,
to
serve
me
as
priest,
nor
come
near
any
of
my
holy
things
and
the
things
that
are
most
holy,
but
they
shall
bear
their
shame
and
the
abominations
that
they
have
committed.
44:14 Yet
I
will
appoint
them
to
keep
charge
of
the
temple,
to
do
all
its
service
and
all
that
is
to
be
done
in
it.
44:15 "But
the
Levitical
priests,
the
sons
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
stand
before
me
to
offer
me
the
fat
and
the
blood,
declares
the
Lord
GOD.
44:16 They
shall
enter
my
sanctuary,
and
they
shall
approach
my
table,
to
minister
to
me,
and
they
shall
keep
my
charge.
44:17 When
they
enter
the
gates
of
the
inner
court,
they
shall
wear
linen
garments.
They
shall
have
nothing
of
wool
on
them,
while
they
minister
at
the
gates
of
the
inner
court,
and
within.
44:18 They
shall
have
linen
turbans
on
their
heads,
and
linen
undergarments
around
their
waists.
They
shall
not
bind
themselves
with
anything
that
causes
sweat.
44:19 And
when
they
go
out
into
the
outer
court
to
the
people,
they
shall
put
off
the
garments
in
which
they
have
been
ministering
and
lay
them
in
the
holy
chambers.
And
they
shall
put
on
other
garments,
lest
they
transmit
holiness
to
the
people
with
their
garments.
44:20 They
shall
not
shave
their
heads
or
let
their
locks
grow
long;
they
shall
surely
trim
the
hair
of
their
heads.
44:21 No
priest
shall
drink
wine
when
he
enters
the
inner
court.
44:22 They
shall
not
marry
a
widow
or
a
divorced
woman,
but
only
virgins
of
the
offspring
of
the
house
of
Israel,
or
a
widow
who
is
the
widow
of
a
priest.
44:23 They
shall
teach
my
people
the
difference
between
the
holy
and
the
common,
and
show
them
how
to
distinguish
between
the
unclean
and
the
clean.
44:24 In
a
dispute,
they
shall
act
as
judges,
and
they
shall
judge
it
according
to
my
judgments.
They
shall
keep
my
laws
and
my
statutes
in
all
my
appointed
feasts,
and
they
shall
keep
my
Sabbaths
holy.
44:25 They
shall
not
defile
themselves
by
going
near
to
a
dead
person.
However,
for
father
or
mother,
for
son
or
daughter,
for
brother
or
unmarried
sister
they
may
defile
themselves.
44:26 After
he
has
become
clean,
they
shall
count
seven
days
for
him.
44:27 And
on
the
day
that
he
goes
into
the
Holy
Place,
into
the
inner
court,
to
minister
in
the
Holy
Place,
he
shall
offer
his
sin
offering,
declares
the
Lord
GOD.
44:28 "This
shall
be
their
inheritance:
I
am
their
inheritance:
and
you
shall
give
them
no
possession
in
Israel;
I
am
their
possession.
44:29 They
shall
eat
the
grain
offering,
the
sin
offering,
and
the
guilt
offering,
and
every
devoted
thing
in
Israel
shall
be
theirs.
44:30 And
the
first
of
all
the
firstfruits
of
all
kinds,
and
every
offering
of
all
kinds
from
all
your
offerings,
shall
belong
to
the
priests.
You
shall
also
give
to
the
priests
the
first
of
your
dough,
that
a
blessing
may
rest
on
your
house.
44:31 The
priests
shall
not
eat
of
anything,
whether
bird
or
beast,
that
has
died
of
itself
or
is
torn
by
wild
animals.
