¶ The .xliiij. Chapter.
¶ He sheweth what dore of the temples is shut. He is
commaunded to vpbrayd the people with their offence.
The vncircumcised in hert and in the fleshe. Who
are to be admitted to the seruice of the temple: ∧ who
to be refused. He sheweth what prestes he wold haue
admitted into the holy place, and also theyr offyce.
A After this, he brought me againe
to the outwarde dore of the sanctuary
on the east syde, and that
was shut. Th&ebar; sayd þe; Lord vnto
me: This dore shalbe styll shut: ∧
not opened for eny m&abar; to go thorowe it: but
only for þe; Lorde God of Israel: yee, he shall
go thorowe it, els shall it be shut styll. The
prince hym selfe shall come thorowe it, that
he maye eate bread before the Lorde. At the
porche shall he come in, and there shall he go
out againe. Then brought he me to the dore
vpon the north syde of the house. And as I
loked aboute me, beholde, note the glory of the
Lord fylled the house: and I fell downe vp&obar;
my face. So the Lorde spake vnto me: O þu;
sonne of man, fasten thys to thyne herte: beholde,
and take diligent hede to all þt; I wyll
B
saye vnto the, concernyng all the ordynaunces
of the Lord, ∧ all his lawes: pondre well
with thyne hert the c&obar;mynge in of the house
and the goyng forth of the sanctuary: ∧ tell
that obstynate housholde of Israell. Thus
sayth the Lorde God: O house of Israel, ye
haue nowe don ynough withall your abhominacyons,
seyng that ye haue brought into
my sanctuary straungers, hauyng vncircumcysed
hertes and fleshe, where thorowe
my sanctuary is defyled, when ye offre me
bread, fatt, and bloude.
Thus with all youre abhominacions ye
haue broken my couena&ubar;t, and not kepte the
holy ordynaunces of my sanctuary: but sett
kepers of my sanctuary, euen after youre awne
mynde. Therfore thus sayth the Lorde
God: Of all the stra&ubar;gers that dwell am&obar;g
the chyldren of Israel,
C no straunger (whose
hert and fleshe is not circumcised) shall come
within my sanctuary. No, ner the leuites
that ben gone backe fro me: and haue disceaued
the people of Israel with all erroures,
goyng after theyr ydoles: therfore shall they
beare their awne wyckednes. Shulde they
be set and ordeined to ministre vnder the dores
of the house of my sanctuary? And to do
seruyce in the house: to slaye burntofferynges
and sacrifyces for the people: to stande
before th&ebar;, and to serue them, seynge the seruyce
that they do them, is before theyr ydoles,
and cause the house of Israel to stomble
thorowe theyr wickednes? note
D For the which
cause I haue pluckte oute myne hande ouer
them, sayth the Lorde, so þt; nowe they must
beare theyr awne iniquitie, and not to come
nye me, to serue me with theyr presthode, in
my sanctuary, and moost holyest of all: that
they maye beare theyr awne shame and abhominati&obar;s,
which they haue done. Shulde
I vse them to be porters of the house, and to
all the seruyce that is done therin? But the
prestes, the leuites, the sonne of note Sadoch,
that kepte the holy ordynaunces of my sanctuary,
wh&ebar; the chyldr&ebar; of Israel were gone
fro me, shall come to me, to do me seruyce, to
stande before me, and to offre me the fat and
the bloude, sayth the Lorde God.
E They shall go into my sanctuary, and
treade before my table: to do me seruyce, and
to wayte vpon myne ordynaunces. Nowe
when they go in at þe; dores of the ynnermer
court: they shall put on lynen clothes, so that
no wollyne come vpon them whyle they do
seruice vnder the dores of þe; innermer court,
and within. They shall haue fayre linen bonettes
vpon their heades, and lynen breches
vp&obar; their loynes, which in their labour they
shall not put about them. And wh&ebar; they go
forth to the people into the outwarde court,
they shall put of the clothes wherin they haue
ministred, and laye them in the habitati&obar;
of the sanctuary, and put on other apparell,
lest they vnhalowe the people with theyr
clothes.
F noteThey shall not shaue theyr heades, ner
norysh the bushe of theyr heare, but rounde
theyr heades onely. noteAll the prestes that go
into the inmost court, shall dryncke no wyne.
noteThey shall mary no wedowe, nether
one that is put fr&obar; her husb&abar;de: but a mayde
of the seede of the house of Israel, or a wedowe
that hath had a preste before.
noteThey shall shewe my people the difference
betwene the holy and vnholy, betwixt
the cleane and vncleane. If any discord arise,
they shall discerne it: ∧ geue sentence after
my iudgementes.
G My solempne feastes, my
lawes and ordinaunces shall they kepe, and
halowe my sabbathes. note&rhand; They shall come
at no deed persone to defyle them selues,
except it be father or mother, s&obar;ne or daughter,
brother or syster, that hath had yet no
husbande, in soch maye they be defyled.
And when he is clensed, ther shalbe rekened
vnto him .vij. dayes: and yf he go into þe;
sanctuary agayn to do seruice, he shall bring
a synoffering, sayth the Lorde God. noteThey
shall haue an heritage: yee, I my selfe wyll
be their heritage: els shall ye geue th&ebar; no possession
in Israel, for I am their possessyon.
The meatofferynges, synofferyng and trespaceofferinge
shall they eate, ∧ &rhand; euery dedicate
thynge in Israel, shalbe theyrs. The
fyrstlinges of all the fyrst frutes, and all frewyllofferinges
shalbe the prestes.
Ye shall geue vnto the preste also all the
fyrst frute of your first borne, all I say, ∧ all
that is separated vnto God, all youre heueofferinges
(I saye) shalbe the prestes, ∧ also þe;
fyrstlinges of your dough, þt; God maye prospere
-- --
the residue. noteBut no deed caryon shall
the prest eate, ner soch as is deuoured of wilde
beastes, foules or catell:
