Ezekiel 44:15-31 - The Priests' Duties And Privileges
15 And the priests the Levites, sons of Zadok, who watched the watches of my holy place in the going astray of the sons of Israel from me, they shall draw near to me to serve me, and they stood before me to bring near to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Jehovah: 16 They shall come into my holy place, and they shall draw near to my table, to serve me; and they watched my watches. 17 And it was in their going in to the gates of the inner enclosure they shall put on linen garments; and wool shall not come up upon them in their serving in the gates of the inner enclosure, and the house. 18 And linen turbans shall be upon their heads, and linen drawers shall be upon their loins; and they shall not be girded with sweat 19 And in their going forth to the enclosure without, to the enclosure to the people, they shall lay off their garments which they serve in them, and set them in the cells of the holy place, and put on other garments; and they shall not consecrate the people in their garments.
20 And they shall not shave their heads, and shearing, they shall shear their beads. 21 And they shall not drink wine every priest in their going in to the inner enclosure. 22 And they Shall not take a widow and her thrust away, to them for wives: but virgins from the seed of the house of Israel, and a widow which shall be a widow from a priest, shall they take. 23 And they shall point out to my people between the holy to the profane, and they shall cause them to know between the unclean to the clean.
24 And upon contention they shall stand to judge in my judgments, and they judged: and my instructions and my laws in all my appointments, they shall watch; and my Sabbaths shall they consecrate. 25 And to a dead man they shall not come to be defiled: but for father and for mother, and for son and for daughter, for brother, for sister who was not to a husband, they shall be defiled. 26 And after his cleansing they shall number to him seven days. 27 And in the day of his going into the holy place, to the inner court he serve in the holy place, he shall bring near his sin, says the Lord Jehovah.
28 And it was to them for an inheritance; I am their inheritance: and a possession ye shall not give to there in Israel: I am their possession. 29 The gift and the sin and the trespass shall they eat; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be to them. 30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every oblation of all from all your oblations, shall be for the priests: and the first of your grouts ye shall give to the priest to cause blessing to rest upon thy house. 31 Every carcass or torn from bind and from cattle, the priests shall not eat.
