Ezekiel 44:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 Then they will be[a] in my sanctuary, those serving in my sanctuary, as sentries[b] at the gates of the temple[c] and as those serving the temple;[d] they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they will stand before them[e] to serve them, 12 because[f] they used to serve them before[g] their idols and they were for the house of Israel like a stumbling block of iniquity. Therefore I swore[h] concerning them,” declares[i] the Lord Yahweh, “that they will bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not approach me to serve as a priest for me and to come near to all of[j] my holy objects, to the most holy objects, [k] and they will bear their disgrace and the results of their detestable things they have done.
