WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.520 Chapter 44 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary, 00:06.920 --> 00:08.380 which looketh toward the east. 00:09.080 --> 00:10.200 And it was shut. 00:11.020 --> 00:14.420 Then said the Lord unto me, This gate shall be shut. 00:14.920 --> 00:18.400 It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it. 00:18.800 --> 00:23.440 Because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall 00:23.440 --> 00:23.960 be shut. 00:24.640 --> 00:26.980 It is for the prince, the prince. 00:26.980 --> 00:29.920 He shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord. 00:30.420 --> 00:34.780 He shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of 00:34.780 --> 00:35.280 the same. 00:36.160 --> 00:39.600 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house. 00:40.300 --> 00:45.060 And I looked, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, 00:45.360 --> 00:46.980 and I fell upon my face. 00:47.820 --> 00:52.980 And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, 00:53.360 --> 00:57.920 and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of 00:57.920 --> 01:00.680 the house of the Lord, and all the laws thereof. 01:01.220 --> 01:04.900 And mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the 01:04.900 --> 01:05.280 sanctuary. 01:06.100 --> 01:11.060 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith 01:11.060 --> 01:15.640 the Lord God, O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your 01:15.640 --> 01:21.660 abominations, in that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in 01:21.660 --> 01:26.600 heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, 01:26.940 --> 01:32.640 even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have 01:32.640 --> 01:35.680 broken my covenant because of all your abominations. 01:36.840 --> 01:41.720 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things, but ye have set keepers of my 01:41.720 --> 01:43.720 charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. 01:44.500 --> 01:50.260 Thus saith the Lord God, No stranger uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised 01:50.260 --> 01:55.220 in flesh shall enter into my sanctuary of any stranger that is among the children of 01:55.220 --> 01:55.560 Israel. 01:56.240 --> 02:00.620 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, 02:01.300 --> 02:05.860 which went astray away from me after their idols, they shall even bear their 02:05.860 --> 02:06.340 iniquity. 02:07.100 --> 02:11.060 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of 02:11.060 --> 02:13.380 the house, and ministering to the house. 02:13.760 --> 02:18.260 They shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall 02:18.260 --> 02:22.900 stand before them to minister unto them, because they ministered unto them before 02:22.900 --> 02:26.640 their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity. 02:27.680 --> 02:31.900 Therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord God. 02:32.760 --> 02:37.140 And they shall bear their iniquity, and they shall not come near unto me, 02:37.440 --> 02:42.440 to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things 02:42.440 --> 02:43.880 in the most holy place. 02:44.420 --> 02:48.960 But they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed. 02:49.760 --> 02:54.680 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, 02:54.920 --> 02:57.060 and for all that shall be done therein. 02:57.760 --> 03:02.600 But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my 03:02.600 --> 03:06.940 sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me 03:06.940 --> 03:11.580 to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the 03:11.580 --> 03:13.660 blood, saith the Lord God. 03:14.500 --> 03:19.240 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table to 03:19.240 --> 03:22.160 minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. 03:22.840 --> 03:26.700 And it shall come to pass that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, 03:27.040 --> 03:31.900 they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them whilst 03:31.900 --> 03:34.440 they minister in the gates of the inner court and within. 03:35.180 --> 03:39.500 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon 03:39.500 --> 03:40.180 their loins. 03:40.720 --> 03:45.420 They shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat, and when they 03:45.420 --> 03:49.420 go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, 03:50.020 --> 03:54.060 they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy 03:54.060 --> 03:59.020 chambers, and they shall put on other garments, and they shall not sanctify the 03:59.020 --> 04:00.160 people with their garments. 04:01.020 --> 04:04.960 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long. 04:05.520 --> 04:07.260 They shall only pull their heads. 04:07.980 --> 04:11.520 Neither shall any priest drink wine when they enter into the inner court, 04:11.520 --> 04:16.320 neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away. 04:16.980 --> 04:21.700 But they shall take maidens of the seat of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a 04:21.700 --> 04:22.420 priest before. 04:22.980 --> 04:26.960 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, 04:27.280 --> 04:30.860 and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 04:31.460 --> 04:36.340 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment, and they shall judge it 04:36.340 --> 04:37.460 according to my judgments. 04:37.460 --> 04:41.660 And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies, 04:42.060 --> 04:43.640 and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 04:44.680 --> 04:47.800 And they shall commit no dead person to defile themselves. 04:48.400 --> 04:53.780 But for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, 04:54.060 --> 04:58.060 or for sister, that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. 04:58.980 --> 05:03.080 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. 05:03.720 --> 05:07.740 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court to 05:07.740 --> 05:12.580 minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord God. 05:13.340 --> 05:15.220 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance. 05:16.140 --> 05:20.140 I am their inheritance, and ye shall give them no possession in Israel. 05:20.680 --> 05:21.720 I am their possession. 05:22.600 --> 05:26.760 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass 05:26.760 --> 05:32.040 offering, and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs, and the first of 05:32.040 --> 05:35.700 all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all. 05:36.260 --> 05:39.640 Of every sort of your oblations shall be the priest's. 05:40.000 --> 05:44.100 Ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the 05:44.100 --> 05:45.700 blessing to rest in thine house. 05:46.360 --> 05:51.580 The priest shall not eat of anything that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be 05:51.580 --> 05:52.540 fowl or beast.
