Ezekiel 44:19-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 44
19
And when they go out into the outer courtyard, into the outer courtyard to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have been ministering and lay them in the holy chambers; then they shall put on other garments, so that they will not transfer holiness to the people with their garments.
20
Also they shall not shave their heads, yet they shall not let their locks grow long; they shall only trim
the hair of
their heads.
21
Nor shall any of the priests drink wine when they enter the inner courtyard.
22
And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but shall take virgins from the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23
Moreover, they shall teach My people
the difference
between the holy and the common, and teach them to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.
24
In a dispute they shall take their stand to judge; they shall judge it according to My ordinances. They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts, and sanctify My Sabbaths.
25
They shall not go to a dead person to defile
themselves;
however, for father, for mother, for son, for daughter, for brother, or for a sister who has not had a husband, they may defile themselves.
King James Version
Chapter 44
19
And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Christian Standard Bible

Before they go out to the outer court, to the people, they must take off the clothes they have been ministering in, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people through their clothes.
20

23
They are to teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and explain to them the difference between the clean and the unclean.
24
"In a dispute, they will officiate as judges and decide the case according to my ordinances. They are to observe my laws and statutes regarding all my appointed festivals, and keep my Sabbaths holy.
25
A priest may not come near a dead person so that he becomes defiled. However, he may defile himself for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister.
New Living Translation
Chapter 44
19
When they return to the outer courtyard where the people are, they must take off the clothes they wear while ministering to me. They must leave them in the sacred rooms and put on other clothes so they do not endanger anyone by transmitting holiness to them through this clothing.
20
They must neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow too long. Instead, they must trim it regularly.
21
The priests must not drink wine before entering the inner courtyard.
22
They may choose their wives only from among the virgins of Israel or the widows of the priests. They may not marry other widows or divorced women.
23
They will teach my people the difference between what is holy and what is common, what is ceremonially clean and unclean.
24
They will serve as judges to resolve any disagreements among my people. Their decisions must be based on my regulations. And the priests themselves must obey my instructions and decrees at all the sacred festivals, and see to it that the Sabbaths are set apart as holy days.
25
A priest must not defile himself by being in the presence of a dead person unless it is his father, mother, child, brother, or unmarried sister. In such cases it is permitted.
