Ezekiel 44:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 44:16

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.
