Ezekiel 44:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Thus saith the Lord God, No stranger uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my Sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel,
10 Neither yet the [a]Levites that are gone back from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from me after their idols, but they shall bear their iniquity.
11 And they shall serve in my Sanctuary, and keep the gates of the House, and minister in the House: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people: and they shall stand before them to serve them.
