To the priests, to the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, and tread before me to do me service, sayeth the LORD God: Unto these give thou a young bullock, for a sin offering;

No nor the Levites that are gone back from me, and have deceived the people of Israel with errors, going after their idols: therefore shall they bear their own wickedness.

But the Priests, the Levites the sons of Zadok, that kept the holy ordinances of my Sanctuary, when the children of Israel were gone from me: shall come to me, to do me service, to stand before me, and to offer me the fat and the blood, sayeth the LORD God.

As for the Sanctuary, it shall stand for itself: and to the Levites that serve in the house, there shall be given twenty habitations, of the twenty five thousand length and ten thousand breadth.

Yea, this same place shall be the priests, that are of the children of Zadok and have kept my holy ordinance: which went not astray in the error of the children of Israel, like as the Levites are gone astray.

And this separated piece that they have of the land, shall be the most holy, hard upon the borders of the Levites.

And next unto the priests, shall the Levites have twenty five thousand long, and ten thousand broad. This shall be on every side twenty five thousand long, and ten thousand broad.

Moreover, from the Levites and the cities possession, that lie in the midst of the prince's part, look: what remaineth betwixt the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be the prince's.
