And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.
The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.
And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.
Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that
boil, where the
ministers of the house shall

fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands
ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD’S
ministers,
mourn.
Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests are in
mourning, those who

Gird yourselves, and
lament, ye priests:
howl, ye
ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in
sackcloth, ye
ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is
withholden from the house of your God.
Put on
sackcloth and
lament, O priests;
wail, O
ministers of the altar. Come,
spend the night in
sackcloth, O
ministers of my God, because the grain and drink offerings are
withheld from the house of your God.
Let the priests, the
ministers of the LORD,
weep between the

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, “
Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not make Your
heritage a reproach, an object of
scorn among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
