⁹ ‘This is what the Lord God says: “^(A)No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the sons of Israel, shall enter My sanctuary. ¹⁰ But the Levites who went far from Me when Israel went astray, who ^(B)went astray from Me ^[a]following their idols, shall ^(C)suffer the punishment for their wrongdoing. ¹¹ Yet they shall be ^(D)ministers in My sanctuary, having ^(E)oversight at the gates of the house and ^(F)ministering in the house; they shall ^(G)slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall ^(H)stand before them to minister to them.
