15
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the
children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they
shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
16
They shall
enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall
keep my charge.
17
And it shall come to pass,
that
when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall
be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the
gates of the inner court, and within.
18
They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall
have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird
themselves
with any thing that causeth
sweat.
19
And when they go forth into the utter court,
even
into the utter court to the people, they
shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they
shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20
Neither
shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22
Neither shall they take
for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the
house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23
And they shall teach my people
the difference
between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24
And
in controversy they shall stand in judgment;
and
they shall judge it according to my judgments:
and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my
sabbaths.
25
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for
mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may
defile themselves.
26
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27
And in the
day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer
his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD.
28
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I
am
their
inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I
am
their possession.
29
They shall eat
the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel
shall be theirs.
30
And the first of all the firstfruits of all
things,
and every oblation of all, of every
sort
of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough,
that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31
The priests shall not eat of any thing that
is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
CHAPTER 45
Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the
L
ORD
, an holy portion of the land: the length
shall be
the length of five and twenty thousand
reeds,
and the breadth
shall be
ten thousand. This
shall be
holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2
Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred
in length,
with five hundred
in breadth,
square
round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
3
And of this measure shalt thou
980
