1: And He brought backH7725 meH0853 the wayH1870 to the gateH8179 of the sanctuaryH4720 outerH2435 which facesH6437 toward the east-H6921 but it [was]H1931 shut.H5462

2: And saidH0559 to meH0413 YahwehH3068 gateH8179 thisH2088 shut,H5462 shall beH1961 notH3808 it shall be opened,H6605 and manH0376 noH3808 shall enterH0935 becauseH3588 Yahweh,H3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 has enteredH0935 and therefore it shall beH1961 shut.H5462

3: -H0853 [As] [for] the prince-H5387 the prince,H5387 [because] he [is]H1931 he may sitH3427 breadH0398 beforeH6440 Yahweh-H3068 by way ofH1870 the vestibuleH0197 of the gateway,H8179 he shall enterH0935 and the same wayH1870 go out.H3318

4: And He brought meH0935 by wayH1870 of gateH8179 the northH6828 toH0413 the frontH6440 of the temple-H1004 so I looked,H7200 and behold,H2009 filledH4390 the gloryH3519 of YahwehH3068 -H0853 the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 and I fellH5307 onH0413 my face.H6440

5: And saidH0559 to meH0413 YahwehH3068 SonH1121 of man,H0120 markH7760 well,H3820 and seeH7200 with your eyes,H5869 and with your earsH0241 hearH8085 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834 IH0589 sayH1696 to youH0853 concerning allH3605 the ordinancesH2708 of the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 and allH3605 its lawsH8451 and MarkH7760 wellH3820 who may enterH3996 the house,H1004 and allH3605 who go out fromH4161 the sanctuary.H4720

6: And sayH0559 toH0413 the rebellious,H4805 toH0413 the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 no moreH7227 of allH3605 your abominations,H8441 houseH1004 of Israel,H3478

7: when you brought inH0935 sonsH1121 foreigners,H5236 uncircumcised inH6189 heart,H3820 and uncircumcised inH6189 flesh,H1320 to beH1961 in My sanctuary,H4720 to defile itH2490 -H0853 My house,H1004 and when you offeredH7126 -H0853 My food,H3899 the fatH2459 and the blood,H1818 then they brokeH6565 -H0853 My covenantH1285 becauseH0413 of allH3605 your abominations.H8441

8: And notH3808 you have keptH8104 chargeH4931 of My holy things-H6944 but you have setH7760 [others] to keepH8104 chargeH4931 of My sanctuaryH4720

9: ThusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GODH3068 anyH3605 sonH1121 foreigner,H5236 uncircumcised inH6189 heart,H3820 or uncircumcised inH6189 flesh,H1320 NoH3808 shall enterH0935 intoH0413 My sanctuary,H4720 including anyH3605 sonH1121 foreignerH5236 who [is]H0834 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of Israel.H3478

10: ForH3588 andH0518 the LevitesH3881 whoH0834 went farH7368 from MeH5921 when went astray,H8582 IsraelH3478 whoH0834 strayedH8582 away from MeH5921 afterH0310 their idols-H1544 and they shall bearH5375 their iniquity.H5771

11: And yet they shall beH1961 in My sanctuary,H4720 ministersH8334 -H6486 toH0413 [as] gatekeepersH8179 of the house,H1004 and ministersH8334 ofH0853 the house-H1004 theyH1992 shall slayH7819 -H0853 the burnt offeringH5930 andH0853 the sacrificeH2077 for the people,H5971 and theyH1992 shall standH5975 before themH6440 to minister to them.H8334

12: BecauseH3282 thatH0834 they ministeredH8334 to themH0853 beforeH6440 their idols,H1544 and causedH1961 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to fall intoH4383 iniquity-H5771 uponH5921 thusH3651 I have raised in an oathH5375 My handH3027 against themH5921 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 that they shall bearH5375 their iniquity.H5771

13: And notH3808 they shall come nearH5066 MeH0413 to minister as priestH3547 and nor come nearH5066 toH5921 anyH3605 of My holy things,H6944 nor intoH0413 Holy [Place]H6944 the MostH6944 but they shall bearH5375 their shame,H3639 and their abominationsH8441 whichH0834 they have committed.H6213

14: And nevertheless I will makeH5414 themH0853 keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the temple,H1004 for allH3605 its workH5656 and for allH3605 thatH0834 has to be doneH6213

15: But the priestsH3548 the Levites,H3881 the sonsH1121 of Zadok,H6659 whoH0834 keptH8104 -H0853 chargeH4931 of My sanctuaryH4720 when went astrayH8582 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from MeH5921 theyH1992 shall come nearH7126 MeH0413 to minister to MeH8334 and they shall standH5975 before MeH6440 to offerH7126 the fatH2459 and the blood,H1818 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069

16: theyH1992 shall enterH0935 intoH0413 My sanctuary,H4720 and theyH1992 shall come nearH7126 untoH0413 My table,H7979 to minister to MeH8334 and they shall keepH8104 -H0853 My charge.H4931
