*
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
No foreigner ,
uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh ,
shall enter My sanctuary ,
including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel .
* "
And the Levites who went far from Me ,
when Israel went astray ,
who strayed away from Me after their idols ,
they shall bear their iniquity .
*
Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary ,
as gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house ;
they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people ,
and they shall stand before them to minister to them .
*
Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity ,
therefore I have raised My hand in an oath against them ,"
says the Lord GOD , "
that they shall bear their iniquity .
*
And they shall not come near Me to minister to Me as priest ,
nor come near any of My holy things ,
nor into the Most Holy Place ;
but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed .
*
Nevertheless I will make them keep charge of the temple ,
for all its work ,
and for all that has to be done in it .
