divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a
priest.

defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may
defile themselves.

portico of the
gateway and stand by the
gatepost, while the
priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in worship at the
threshold of the gate and then depart, but the gate must not be shut until evening.
After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
Then the man brought me through the entrance at the side of the gate into the holy chambers facing north, which belonged to the priests, and he showed me a place there at the far western end

priests shall
boil the
trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall
bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to
sanctify the people.

priests shall
boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall
bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and
transmit holiness to the people.”

priests, shall be this holy
oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.

It shall be for the
priests that are
sanctified of the sons of
Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not
astray when the children of Israel went
astray, as the Levites went
astray.
It will be for the consecrated
priests, the descendants of
Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go
astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went
astray.

reject you as My
priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also
forget your children.

atrocities.

heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Let the
priests who minister before the LORD
weep between the
portico and the altar, saying, “
