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.
15 a“But the priests, the Levites, bthe sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary cwhen the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they dshall stand before Me to offer to Me the efat and the blood,” says the Lord God.
16 “They shall aenter My sanctuary, and they shall come near bMy table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.
17 And it shall be, whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, that athey shall put on linen garments; no wool shall come upon them while they minister within the gates of the inner court or within the house.
18 aThey shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.
