EZEKIEL 44:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.”
They shall not come near me to serve as priests to me, nor shall they touch any of my holy things, nor the most holy things; but they shall bear their shame and the abominable acts that they committed'—establishing absolute prohibition against priestly function for the apostate Levites. The prohibition on touching holy things emphasizes their separation from the sacred. The bearing of shame indicates lasting consequences for their faithlessness. This verse emphasizes the permanence of Levite restriction.
