“No one is to enter the LORD’s temple but the priests and those Levites who serve; they may enter because they are holy, but all the people are to obey the requirement of the LORD.
In addition, they distributed it to males registered by genealogy three[fn] years old and above; to all who would enter the LORD’s temple for their daily duty, for their service in their responsibilities according to their divisions.
They distributed also to those recorded by genealogy of the priests by their ancestral families[fn] and the Levites twenty years old and above, by their responsibilities in their divisions;
He appointed the priests to their responsibilities and encouraged them to serve in the LORD’s temple.
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot, and let the doors be shut and securely fastened while the guards are on duty. Station the citizens of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their homes.”
They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
So I purified them from everything foreign and assigned specific duties to each of the priests and Levites.
Then the lookout[fn] reported,
“Lord, I stand on the watchtower all day,
and I stay at my post all night.
Then the man said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple.
“The chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the ones from the sons of Levi who may approach the LORD to serve him.”
“You have not kept charge of my holy things but have appointed others to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.’
“Yet I will make them responsible for the duties of the temple — for all its work and everything done in it.
“But the Levitical priests descended from Zadok, who kept charge of my sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from me, will approach me to serve me. They will stand before me to offer me fat and blood.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.
“They are the ones who may enter my sanctuary and approach my table to serve me. They will keep my mandate.
“It is for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.
I will stand at my guard post
and station myself on the lookout tower.
I will watch to see what he will say to me
and what I should[fn] reply about my complaint.
“This is what the LORD of Armies says: If you walk in my ways and keep my mandates, you will both rule my house and take care of my courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.
