priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up
for
a burnt offering unto the L
ORD
.
25
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat
for
a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young
bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
26
Seven days shall they purge the altar and
purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
27
And when these days are expired, it shall be,
that
upon the eighth day, and
so
forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and
your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
CHAPTER 44
Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the
east; and it
was
shut.
2
Then said the L
ORD
unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened,
and no man shall enter in by it; because the L
ORD
, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore
it shall be shut.
3
It is
for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the L
ORD
; he
shall enter by the way of the porch of
that
gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the
glory of the L
ORD
filled the house of the L
ORD
: and I fell upon my face.
5
And the L
ORD
said unto
me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto
thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the L
ORD
, and all the laws thereof; and mark well
the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
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 GOD; 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, which went astray away 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 unto them.
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, in the most holy
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.
