Young's Literal Translation

Berean Standard Bible
And
he
causeth
me to
turn
back the
way
of
the gate of the outer
sanctuary that is
looking
eastward
, and
it is
shut.
The
man
then
brought
me back to
the outer
gate of the sanctuary that faced
east
, but
it was
shut.
And Jehovah
saith
unto
me, `
This gate is shut ,
it is
not opened, and none
doth
go
in
by
it, for
Jehovah
, God of Israel, hath
come
in
by
it ,
and
it hath
been
shut.
And the
LORD
said
to
me, “
This gate is to
remain
shut .
It shall
not be
opened, and no
man
shall
enter
through
it, because
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, has
entered
through
it .
Therefore
it will
remain
shut.
The prince ,
who
`is'
prince,
he
sitteth
by
it
to eat bread
before
Jehovah,
by
the way of the porch
of the gate
he
cometh
in,
and by
its
way
he
goeth
out. '
Only
the prince himself
may
sit
inside
the
gateway
to eat in
the presence
of
the
LORD.
He
must
enter
by
way of the portico
of the gateway
and go
out the
same
way
. ”
And
he
bringeth
me in
the way of the north gate unto
the
front
of
the
house,
and
I look,
and lo,
filled
hath
the honour
of Jehovah
the house
of
Jehovah
, and I fall
on
my
face
.
Then
the
man
brought
me to
the front
of
the
temple
by
way of the north gate .
I looked
and saw
the glory
of the LORD
filling
His
temple
, and I fell
facedown
.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me ,
`
Son of man, set
thy
heart,
and
see
with thine
eyes ,
and with thine
ears hear,
all
that
I am
speaking
with
thee,
of
all the statutes of the house of Jehovah,
and
of all
its
laws;
and
thou
hast
set
thy
heart
to
the entrance of
the house
, with all the outlets
of the sanctuary ,
The
LORD
said
to
me :
“
Son of man, pay
attention;
look
carefully
with your
eyes and listen
closely
with your
ears to
everything
I tell
you
concerning
all the statutes and
laws
of the house of the
LORD.
Take
careful
note
of the entrance to
the temple
, along
with all the exits
of the sanctuary .
and
hast
said
unto
the rebellious ,
unto
the
house of Israel :
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Enough to
you
--
of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Tell
the rebellious house of Israel that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘I
have
had
enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
In your bringing
in
sons
of
a
stranger
, uncircumcised of
heart ,
and uncircumcised
of
flesh ,
to be
in
My sanctuary ,
to
pollute
it,
even
My house,
in
your
bringing
near
My bread,
fat ,
and blood ,
and
they
break
My covenant by
all
your
abominations,
In addition
to
all
your other
abominations
, you
brought
in
foreigners
uncircumcised in
both
heart and flesh to occupy
My sanctuary ;
you
defiled
My temple
when
you
offered
My food—the
fat and the
blood ;
you
broke
My covenant .
and ye
have not kept the
charge of My holy things, and
ye
set
`them'
for
keepers
of
My
charge in
My sanctuary for you.
And you
have not kept charge of My holy things, but
have
appointed
others
to
keep
charge of
My sanctuary for you. ’
`Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: No son
of
a
stranger,
uncircumcised of
heart ,
and uncircumcised
of
flesh ,
cometh
in
unto
My sanctuary ,
even any
son
of
a stranger,
who `is'
in
the
midst
of
the sons
of
Israel,
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: No foreigner
uncircumcised in
heart and flesh may
enter
My sanctuary —not
even a foreigner
who lives
among
the Israelites.
but
--
the Levites who have
gone
far
off
from me ,
in
the
wandering
of
Israel
when they
went astray from Me after their idols, and
they
have
borne
their iniquity.
Surely
the Levites who wandered
away
from Me when Israel
went astray ,
and
who
wandered
away
from Me after their idols, will
bear
the
consequences
of
their iniquity.
And
they have
been
in My sanctuary ministrants
, overseers
at
the gates of the house,
and ministrants
at
the
house;
they slay
the burnt -offering
and the
sacrifice
for the people ,
and they
stand before them to serve
them.
Yet
they shall
be
ministers
in My sanctuary, having
charge
of
the gates of the temple
and ministering
there.
They shall
slaughter
the burnt offerings
and other
sacrifices
for the people and stand before them to minister
to
them.
Because that
they serve
them
before their idols ,
and have
been
to
the
house
of
Israel
for
a stumbling -
block of iniquity, therefore I have
lifted
up
my
hand against
them --
an
affirmation
of
the
Lord
Jehovah
--
and
they have
borne
their iniquity.
Because they ministered
before their idols and became
a stumbling block of iniquity to
the
house
of
Israel
, therefore I swore
with
an
uplifted
hand concerning
them that
they would
bear
the
consequences
of
their iniquity ,
declares
the
Lord
GOD
.
And
they draw
not nigh
unto
Me to act
as My
priest,
and
to
draw
nigh
unto
any of My holy things ,
unto
the holy of
holies,
and
they have
borne
their
shame and
their
abominations that
they have done,
They must
not approach
Me to serve
Me
as priests
or
come
near
any of My holy things or
the most
holy things.
They will
bear
the
shame of
the
abominations they have committed.
and
I made
them keepers
of
the
charge of the house,
for all
its
service
and for
all
that
is
done in it.
Yet
I will
appoint
them to
keep
charge of all
the work
for the
temple
and everything
to
be
done in it.
`And
the priests, the
Levites,
sons
of
Zadok ,
who have
kept the
charge of My sanctuary in
the
wandering
of
the sons
of
Israel
from off
Me, they
draw
near
unto
Me to serve
Me ,
and
have
stood
before Me ,
to bring
near
to
Me fat and blood --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah:
But
the Levitical
priests, who
are
descended
from
Zadok and
who kept charge of My sanctuary when
the Israelites
went
astray
from Me, are
to
approach
Me to minister
before
Me .
They
will
stand
before Me to offer
Me fat and blood ,
declares
the Lord GOD.
they come
in
unto
My sanctuary ,
and they
draw near unto
My table to serve
Me ,
and
they have
kept
My charge.
They alone
shall
enter
My sanctuary and draw near to
My table to minister
before
Me .
They will
keep
My charge.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in
their
going
in
unto
the gates of the inner court, linen garments they
put
on
; and
no
wool cometh
up
on
them
in
their
ministering
in
the gates of the inner court and
within
.
When
they
enter
the gates of the inner court, they
are
to
wear
linen garments; they
must
not
wear
anything
made
of
wool when
they
minister
at
the gates of the inner court or
inside
the
temple
.
Linen
bonnets
are on their head,
and linen trousers
are
on
their loins,
they are
not restrained
with
sweat
.
They
are to
wear
linen
turbans
on their heads
and linen undergarments
around
their waists.
They must
not wear
anything
that
makes
them
perspire
.
And
in
their
going
forth
unto
the
outer
court
--
unto
the outer court unto
the people --
they strip
off their
garments ,
in which they are
ministering,
and
have placed
them in the holy chambers, and have
put
on
other garments;
and
they do not sanctify
the people in
their own
garments.
When
they
go
out
to
the outer court ,
to
the people ,
they are
to
take
off the
garments in which they have ministered,
leave
them in the holy chambers, and dress
in
other clothes
so
that
they do not transmit
holiness
to
the people with
their garments.
And
their
head
they do
not shave ,
and
the
lock
they
do
not
send
forth;
they
certainly
poll
their heads.
They must
not shave their heads or
let
their
hair
grow
long,
but
must
carefully
trim
their
hair
.
And
no priest doth
drink wine in
their
coming
in
unto
the inner court.
No priest may
drink wine before
he
enters
the inner court.
And a widow and
divorced woman they
do
not
take
to
them
for
wives:
but --
virgins
of the seed
of the house of Israel, and
the
widow
who
is
widow of a priest ,
do
they
take
.
And they
shall
not
marry
a widow or
a
divorced woman ,
but must
marry
a
virgin
of the descendants
of the house of Israel, or
a
widow of a priest.
`And
My people they
direct
between holy and common, and between
unclean
and
clean
they
cause
them to discern.
They
are
to
teach
My people the
difference
between the
holy and the
common, and show
them how
to discern between
the
clean
and
the
unclean
.
And
concerning
controversy
, they stand
up
for
judgment;
with
My judgments
they judge
it;
and
My law
and My
statutes in
all My appointed places
they keep ;
and
My sabbaths they
sanctify
.
In
any
dispute
, they shall
officiate
as
judges
and
judge
according
to
My ordinances.
They must
keep
My laws
and statutes regarding
all My appointed feasts,
and
they must
keep My Sabbaths holy
.
And
unto
any
dead
man
they
come
not for
uncleanness
, but
for father, and
for
mother, and
for
son, and
for
daughter, for
brother, for
sister who
hath
not
been
to
a
man
, they
defile
themselves.
A
priest
must
not defile
himself
by
going
near
a
dead
person.
However
, for a
father, a
mother, a
son, a
daughter, a
brother, or
an
unmarried
sister, he
may
do
so,
`
And after his
cleansing
, seven days they
number
to
him
.
and after he
is
cleansed
, he
must
count
off
seven days for
himself
.
And in
the day of
his
coming
in
unto
the sanctuary, unto
the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth
near
his sin -
offering --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
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
.
And
it
hath
been
to them
for
an
inheritance ;
I `
am '
their inheritance :
and
a
possession
ye
do
not
give
to them in Israel ;
I `
am '
their possession.
In
regard
to their
inheritance ,
I am their inheritance .
You
are
to give
them no
possession
in Israel ,
for
I am their possession.
The present
, and
the sin -offering
, and the guilt -offering,
they
do
eat,
and
every
devoted
thing
in Israel is
theirs
.
They
shall
eat
the grain
offerings
, the sin offerings
, and the guilt offerings.
Everything
in Israel devoted
to
the
LORD
will
belong
to
them
.
And
the first
of all the first-fruits
of
all,
and every
heave-offering
of all,
of
all your heave-
offerings ,
are
the priests ':
and
the
first of your
dough ye
give
to the priest, to
cause
a blessing to
rest on
thy
house
.
The best
of all the firstfruits
and of every
contribution
from
all your offerings will
belong
to
the priests .
You
are
to
give
your
first batch
of dough to the priest, so
that
a blessing may
rest upon
your
homes
.
Any
carcase
and
torn
thing,
of
the fowl,
and
of
the
beasts,
the
priests do
not eat.
The priests may
not eat any
bird
or
animal
found
dead
or
torn
by
wild
beasts
.
