EZEKIEL 44:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“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.”
But the Levites who went far from me, going astray after their idols when Israel went astray, shall bear their punishment'—introducing the problematic status of Levites who participated in Israel's apostasy. The 'going far' indicates abandonment of covenant loyalty. The punishment is not exile or death but reduced status in the restored temple. This verse establishes consequences for Levite infidelity.
