And you have not taken responsibility for My holy things yourselves, but you have appointed foreigners to take responsibility for My sanctuary.”

你们也没有看守我的圣物，却派别人在圣地替你们看守我所吩咐你们的。

你们未尽看守我圣物的职责，竟派别人在我的圣所替你们尽看守之责。

你们未尽看守我圣物的职责，竟派别人在我的圣所替你们尽看守之责。

你们自己不管理我的圣物，却把我的圣所给外人治理。

你们自己没有看守我的圣物，却委派别人在我的圣所里代你们看守。’”

你們也沒有看守我的聖物，卻派別人在聖地替你們看守我所吩咐你們的。

你們未盡看守我聖物的職責，竟派別人在我的聖所替你們盡看守之責。

你們未盡看守我聖物的職責，竟派別人在我的聖所替你們盡看守之責。

你們自己不管理我的聖物，卻把我的聖所給外人治理。

你們自己沒有看守我的聖物，卻委派別人在我的聖所裡代你們看守。’”

你們也沒有守盡看守我聖物的職守，卻派別人在我的聖地守盡我所吩咐你們的職守。

不守我聖物、乃立人代爾供我聖地之役事、

爾不守我聖所、乃使他人代之、因以取利。

爾不守我付爾守之聖物、在我聖所、使他人代守我所定之職、

Instead of carrying out your duty in regard to my holy things, you put others in charge of my sanctuary.

You did not do what I told you to. You did not take care of my holy things. Instead, you put other people in charge of my temple.” ’ ”

And you have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have set others to keep my charge for you in my sanctuary.

Instead of safeguarding my sacred rituals, you have hired foreigners to take charge of my sanctuary.

You have not kept charge of my holy things but have appointed others to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.’

And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.”

And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

You have not kept charge of My holy things but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.

And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.

You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”

I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:

So they are to perform the duties of the tent of meeting, the holy place, and of assisting the sons of Aaron their relatives, for the service of the house of the Lord.

“ Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they dedicate to Me, so as not to profane My holy name; I am the Lord.Say to them,‘ Any man among all your descendants throughout your generations who approaches the holy gifts which the sons of Israel consecrate to the Lord, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from My presence; I am the Lord.No man of the descendants of Aaron, who has leprosy or has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. And one who touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or a man who has a seminal emission,or a man who touches any swarming things by which he is made unclean, or touches any person by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness;a person who touches any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his body in water.But when the sun sets, he will be clean, and afterward he may eat of the holy gifts, for it is his food.He shall not eat an animal which dies or is torn by animals, becoming unclean by it; I am the Lord.They shall therefore perform their duty to Me, so that they do not bear sin because of it and die by it because they profane it; I am the Lord who sanctifies them.‘ No layman, however, is to eat the holy gift; a foreign resident with the priest or a hired worker shall not eat the holy gift.But if a priest buys a slave as his property with his money, that person may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his food.If a priest’s daughter is married to a layman, she shall not eat of the offering of the holy gifts.But if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or divorced, and has no child and returns to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s food; but no layman shall eat of it.If, however, someone eats a holy food unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it and shall give the holy food to the priest.And they shall not profane the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,and thereby bring upon them punishment for guilt by eating their holy gifts; for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’ ”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them,‘ Anyone of the house of Israel or of the strangers in Israel who presents his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their voluntary offerings, which they present to the Lord as a burnt offering—for you to be accepted— it must be a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats.Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you.When someone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill a special vow or for a voluntary offering, of the herd or of the flock, it must be without defect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it.Those that are blind, fractured, maimed, or have a wart, a festering rash, or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make of them an offering by fire on the altar to the Lord.Now as for an ox or a lamb which has an overgrown or stunted member, you may present it as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted.Also anything with its testicles squashed, crushed, torn off, or cut off, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor sacrifice in your land,nor shall you offer any of these animals taken from the hand of a foreigner as the food of your God; for their deformity is in them, they have an impairment. They will not be accepted for you.’ ”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it will be considered acceptable as a sacrifice of an offering by fire to the Lord.But, whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not slaughter both it and its young in one day.When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until morning. I am the Lord.So you shall keep My commandments, and do them; I am the Lord.“ And you shall not profane My holy name, but I will be sanctified among the sons of Israel; I am the Lord who sanctifies you,who brought you out from the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am the Lord.”

Then he said to me,“ This is the chamber which faces south, intended for the priests who are responsible for the temple;but the chamber which faces north is for the priests who are responsible for the altar. They are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to the Lord to serve Him.”

And they shall perform duties for you and the duties of the whole tent, but they shall not come near the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.They shall join you and perform the duties of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; but an unauthorized person shall not come near you.So you shall perform the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel.

Nevertheless I will appoint them to take responsibility for the house, of all its service and of everything that shall be done in it.

Then I selected twelve of the leading priests: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers;and I weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king, his counselors, his officials, and all Israel who were present there had contributed.So I weighed into their hands 650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth a hundred talents, and a hundred gold talents,and twenty gold bowls worth a thousand darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold.Then I said to them,“ You are holy to the Lord, and the utensils are holy; and the silver and the gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord God of your fathers.Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites, and the leaders of the fathers’ households of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.”So the priests and the Levites accepted the weight of silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

I direct you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

you who received the Law as ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it.”

“ They shall enter My sanctuary; they shall come near to My table to serve Me and assume the responsibility I give them.

But you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything that concerns the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as a service that is a gift, and the unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.”
