Ezekiel 44:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 44:14

But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house
To be watchmen or porters in it; to open and shut the doors of it; to sweep and keep it clean; to repair and mend it, and to do such like works, as it follows: for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein;
in a servile way; but not as priests or ministers of the word.

Ezekiel 44:14 In-Context

12 Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.

13 They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.

14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.

15 But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.

16 They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.
