Ezekiel 44:22-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 44
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.
26
And after he is cleansed, seven days shall elapse for him.
27
On the day that he goes into the sanctuary, to the inner courtyard to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,' declares the Lord
God
.
28
And it shall be regarding an inheritance for them,
that
I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no property in Israel—I am their property.
King James Version
Chapter 44
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.
26
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord
God
.
28
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
Christian Standard Bible

22
He is not to marry a widow or a divorced woman, but may marry only a virgin from the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
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.
26
After he is cleansed, he is to count off seven days for himself.
27
On the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, he is to present his sin offering." This is the declaration of the Lord
God
.
28
"This will be their inheritance: I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
New Living Translation
Chapter 44
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.
26
Even then, he can return to his Temple duties only after being ceremonially cleansed and then waiting for seven days.
27
The first day he returns to work and enters the inner courtyard and the sanctuary, he must offer a sin offering for himself, says the Sovereign
Lord
.
28
The priests will not have any property or possession of land, for I alone am their special possession.
