Ezekiel 44:21-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

21. “And no priest is to drink wine when he comes into the inner court.

22. “And they do not take as wife a widow or a divorced woman, but take maidens of the seed of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or widows of priests.

23. “And they are to teach My people the difference between the set-apart and the profane, and make them know what is unclean and clean.

24. “And they are to stand as judges in a dispute, and judge it according to My right-rulings. And they are to guard My Torot and My laws in all My appointed festivals, and set apart My Sabbaths.

25. “And they are not to defile themselves by coming near a dead man. Only for a father or mother, for a son or daughter, for a brother or unmarried sister they defile themselves.

26. “And after his cleansing, they count seven days for him,

27. and on the day that he comes into the inner court of the set-apart place to attend in the set-apart place, he brings his sin offering,” declares the Master יהוה.
