Ezekiel 44:16

The People Serving In The New Temple

¹⁵ But as for the priests, the sons of Zadok, who took care of my holy place when the children of Israel were turned away from me, they are to come near me to do my work, they will take their places before me, offering to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord; ¹⁶ They are to come into my holy place and they are to come near to my table, to do my work and have the care of my house. ¹⁷ And when they come in by the doorways of the inner square, they are to be clothed in linen robes; there is to be no wool on them while they are doing my work in the doorway of the inner square and inside the house.
