Ezekiel 44:14-21 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

14. And I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

15. But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall approach unto me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to present unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah.

16. They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall approach unto my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

17. And it shall come to pass when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court, and towards the house.

18. They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird on anything that causeth sweat.

19. And when they go forth into the outer court, into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy cells; and they shall put on other garments, that they may not hallow the people with their garments.

20. Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long: they shall duly poll their heads.

21. Neither shall any priest drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
