10
But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear their iniquity.
11
yet they shall minister in my sanctuary, porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall slay the victims and the whole-burnt-offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister to them.
12
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and it became to the house of Israel a punishment of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord God.
13
And they shall not draw nigh to me to minister to me in the priests' office, nor to approach the holy things of the children of Israel, nor my holy of holies: but they shall bear their reproach for the error wherein they erred.
14
They shall bring them to keep the charges of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that they shall do.
