Ezekiel 44:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ The Lord God says: “No foreigner of all the many among you shall enter my sanctuary if he has not been circumcised and does not love the Lord. ¹⁰ And the men of the tribe of Levi who abandoned me when Israel strayed away from God to idols must be punished for their unfaithfulness. ¹¹ They may be Temple guards and gatemen; they may slay the animals brought for burnt offerings and be present to help the people.
