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.
15
The priests the Levites, the sons of Sadduc, who kept the charges of my sanctuary when the house of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw night to me to minister to me, and shall stand before my face, to offer sacrifice to me, the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God.
16
These shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall approach my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charges.
