Ezekiel 44

1 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.

And he brought back me [the] way of [the] gate of the sanctuary outer which faces east and it [was] shut.

2 Then said Jehovah to me: This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because Jehovah, the God of Israel, entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.

And he said to me Yahweh the gate this shut it will be not it will be opened and anyone not he will go in it for Yahweh [the] God of Israel he has gone in it and it will be shut.

3 The prince, because he is prince, shall sit in it, to eat food before Jehovah; he shall enter through the porch of that gate, and by the same way shall he go out.

The prince prince he he will sit in it (to eat *Q(K)*) bread before Yahweh from [the] way of [the] porch of the gate he will come and from way its he will go out.

4 Then he brought me to the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah. And I fell upon my face.

And he brought me [the] way of [the] gate of the north to [the] face of the house and I saw and there! it filled [the] glory of Yahweh [the] house of Yahweh and I fell to face my.

5 And Jehovah said to me: Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say to thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well all the entrances of the house, and all the outward passages of the sanctuary.

And he said to me Yahweh O son of humankind set heart your and see with eyes your and with ears your hear all that I [am] speaking you of all [the] statutes of [the] house of Yahweh and of all (laws its *Q(K)*) and you will set heart your to [the] entrance of the house on all [the] exits of the sanctuary.

6 And say to the rebellious house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you of all your abominations, O house of Israel,

And you will say to rebellion to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [was too] much for you for all abominations your O house of Israel.

7 in that ye brought strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, so that ye polluted my house when ye offered my food, the fat and the blood, and broke my covenant by all your abominations.

When brought you sons of foreignness uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh to be in sanctuary my to profane it house my when brought near you food my fat and blood and they broke covenant my because of all abominations your.

8 And ye kept not the charge of my holy place, but appointed for yourselves such keepers of my charge in my sanctuary.

And not you kept [the] charge of holy things my and you appointed [them]! to [the] keepers of charge my in sanctuary my for yourselves.

9 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: No stranger, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the strangers that are among the sons of Israel.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh any son of foreignness uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh not he will go into sanctuary my to every son of foreignness who [is] in among [the] people of Israel.

10 But even the Levites, who departed from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, shall bear their iniquity.

That except the Levites who they became distant from with me when went astray Israel who they went astray from with me after idols their and they will bear iniquity their.

11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering at the house; they shall slay the burnt-offering and sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.

And they will be in sanctuary my serving overseers to [the] gates of the house and serving the house they they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people and they they will stand before them to serve them.

12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, that they shall bear their iniquity.

Because that they served them before idols their and they became for [the] house of Israel a stumbling block of iniquity there-fore I lift up hand my on them [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and they will bear iniquity their.

13 And they shall not come near to me to do the office of a priest to me, and to come near to any of my holy things in the most holy place, but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

And not they will draw near to me to serve as priests me and to draw near to all holy things my to [the] holy things of the holy things and they will bear disgrace their and abominations their which they have done.

14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all which is to be done therein.

And I will make them [the] keepers of [the] charge of the house for all service its and for all that it will be done in it.

15 But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah.

And the priests the Levites [the] sons of Zadok who they kept [the] charge of sanctuary my when went astray [the] people of Israel from with me they they will draw near to me to serve me and they will stand before me to bring near to me fat and blood [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

16 They shall come into my sanctuary, and they shall draw near to my table to minister to me, and shall keep my charge.

They they will come into sanctuary my and they they will draw near to table my to serve me and they will keep charge my.

17 And when they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within the house.

And it will be when come they into [the] gates of the courtyard inner clothes of linen they will be clothed and not it will go up on them wool when serve they at [the] gates of the courtyard inner and [the] inside towards.

18 They shall have linen coverings upon their heads, and linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.

Head-dresses of linen they will be on head their and undergarments of linen they will be on loins their not they will gird themselves with sweat.

19 And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they ministered, and lay them in the holy rooms, and shall clothe themselves with other garments, that they may not sanctify the people with their garments.

And when go out they into the courtyard outer into the courtyard outer to the people they will take off clothes their which they [were] serving in them and they will set down them in [the] rooms of holiness and they will put on clothes other and not they will consecrate the people by clothes their.

20 They shall neither shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall shear their heads.

And head their not they will shave and hair not they will let loose surely they will trim heads their.

21 And no priest shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.

And wine not they will drink any priest when come they into the courtyard inner.

22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, or her that is put away; but they shall take virgins of the race of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.

And a widow and a divorced [woman] not they will take for themselves to wives that except virgins from [the] offspring of [the] house of Israel and the widow who she will be a widow from a priest they will take.

23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

And people my they will instruct between a holy thing and a profane thing and between an unclean [thing] and a clean [thing] they will make known to them.

24 And in controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my statutes shall they judge. And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my festivals, and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

And on a dispute they they will stand (for judgment *Q(K)*) by judgments my (they will judge it *Q(K)*) and laws my and statutes my in all appointed times my they will observe and sabbaths my they will sanctify.

25 And they shall come to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.

And to dead a person not he will go to become unclean that except for a father and for a mother and for a son and for a daughter for a brother and for a sister who not she has belonged to a husband they will make themselves unclean.

26 And after his cleansing they shall reckon to him seven days.

And after purification his seven days people will count for him.

27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah.

And on [the] day goes he into the holy place into the courtyard inner to serve in the holy place he will bring near sin offering his [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

28 And it shall be to them for an inheritance, that I am their inheritance. And ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.

And it will become for them an inheritance I [am] inheritance their and a possession not you will give to them in Israel I [am] possession their.

29 They shall eat the flour-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.

The grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering they they will eat them and every devoted thing in Israel to them it will belong.

30 And the first of all the first-fruits, and every oblation of all your oblations, shall belong to the priests. Ye shall also give to the priest the first of your meal, that he may cause a blessing to rest on thine house.

And [the] best of all [the] first-fruits of everything and every contribution of everything from all contributions your to the priests it will belong and [the] best of dough your you will give to the priest to cause to rest blessing to house your.

31 The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or that is torn, whether it be fowl or beast.

Any carcass and torn flesh from the bird[s] and from the animal[s] not they will eat the priests.
