Ezekiel 44:7
The Scripture
(7) In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Ezekiel 44 describes the sanctuary's east gate, kept shut because the Lord entered through it, now reserved for the prince alone. It condemns the Levites who once strayed after idols, limiting their duties, while the faithful sons of Zadok are granted to minister as priests. The chapter closes with specific rules for the Zadokite priests covering dress, conduct, marriage, and their handling of holy offerings.
