It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their Elohim, saith the Sovereign Yahweh.
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to Yahweh to minister unto him.
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Sovereign Yahweh, a young bullock for a sin offering.
And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Sovereign Yahweh, and they shall bear their iniquity.
The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto Yahweh: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Yahweh, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
