This shall be for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did—emphasizing that the priestly land belongs to the Zadokites who remained faithful during exile. The reference to fidelity during apostasy reiterates the principle that the priesthood is reserved for those whose loyalty is proven. This verse emphasizes Zadokite privilege.
