8 And you have not akept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.”
9 Thus says the Lord God: a“No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.
Laws Governing Priests
10 a“And the Levites who went far from Me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, aas gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house; bthey shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and cthey shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Because they ministered to them before their idols and acaused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore I have braised My hand in an oath against them,” says the Lord God, “that they shall bear their iniquity.
13 aAnd they shall not come near Me to minister to Me as priest, nor come near any of My holy things, nor into the Most Holy Place; but they shall bbear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Nevertheless I will make them akeep charge of the temple, for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it.
