Rules for the Priests The LORD said to Moses:“Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron– say to them,‘For a dead person no priest is to defile himself among his people,

He must not profane his children among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”

Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says,‘I really did say that your house and your ancestor’s house would serve me forever.’ But now the LORD says,‘May it never be! For I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will be cursed!

You, O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself and punish all the nations! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers!(Selah)

Then you will know that I sent this commandment to you so that my covenant may continue to be with Levi,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
