Ezekiel 44:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 44.
13 They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.
14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.
15 But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.
16 They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.
