Ezekiel 40:44-46

Expanded Bible

The Priests’ Rooms

⁴⁴ There were two rooms in the inner courtyard. One was beside the north gateway and faced south. The other room was beside the south gateway and faced north. ⁴⁵ The man said to me, “The room which faces south is for the priests who ·serve in [or guard; or have charge of] the Temple area, ⁴⁶ while the room that faces north is for the priests who ·serve at [or guard; or have charge of] the altar. This second group of priests are descendants of Zadok, the only descendants of Levi who can come near the Lord to ·serve [minister to] him.”
