But only priests from Zadok’s family took care of my holy place when the people of Israel turned away from me. So only Zadok’s descendants will bring offerings to me.

But the room that looks to the north is for the priests who are on duty and serving at the altar. {\cf2\super [348]} The priests are from the family group of Levi. But this second group of priests are the descendants {\cf2\super [349]} of Zadok. They are the only people who can carry the sacrifices to the altar to serve the Lord.” {\cf2\super [350]}
You brought foreigners into my temple—and those people were not truly circumcised {\cf2\super [417]} —they did not give themselves completely to me. In this way you made my temple unclean. You broke our agreement and did terrible things, and then you gave me the offerings of bread, the fat, and the blood. But this only made my temple unclean.
At that time the Lord separated the family group of Levi from the other family groups for his special work. They had the work of carrying the Lord’s Box of the Agreement. [58] They also served as priests before the Lord. And they had the work of blessing people in the Lord’s name. They still do this special work today.
