Ezekiel 40:44-46

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁴ Then he led me into the inner court, where there were two rooms—one on the side of the north gate, facing south; the other on the side of the south gate, facing north. ⁴⁵ He said to me, “This room that faces south is for the priests who are in charge of the temple. ⁴⁶ The room that faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the descendants of Zadok, who alone among the descendants of Levi are allowed to come near to minister to the Lord.”
