Ezekiel 44:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 44:18

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.

19 When they go out to the outer court, to the outer court to the people, ^athey shall take off their garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and put on other garments; and in their holy garments they shall ^bnot sanctify the people.

20 ^a“They shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow ^blong, but they shall keep their hair well trimmed.

21 ^aNo priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court.

22 They shall not take as wife a ^awidow or a divorced woman, but take virgins of the descendants of the house of Israel, or widows of priests.

23 “And ^athey shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to ^bdiscern between the unclean and the clean.

24 ^aIn controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed meetings, ^band they shall hallow My Sabbaths.

25 “They shall not defile themselves by coming near a dead person. Only for father or mother, for son or daughter, for brother or unmarried sister may they defile themselves.
