Ezekiel 44:24–28 · Berean Standard Bible

24 In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.

25 A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,

26 and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.

27 And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.

28 In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.
