Ezekiel 44:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ You did not take ·care [charge] of my holy things yourselves but put ·foreigners [or others] ·in charge of [to take care of] my ·Temple [sanctuary]. ⁹ This is what the Lord God says: Foreigners who ·do not give themselves to serving me [^Lare uncircumcised in heart] and who are uncircumcised in flesh may not enter my ·Temple [sanctuary]. Not even a foreigner living among the ·people [^Lsons/^Tchildren] of Israel may enter.

¹⁰ “‘But the Levites who ·stopped obeying [^Lwent far from] me when Israel ·left me [went astray] and who followed their idols must ·be punished [be responsible; bear the penalty] for their sin.
