¹³ They ^(A)shall not come near to me, to serve me as priest, nor come near any of my holy things and the things that are most holy, but ^(B)they shall bear their shame and the abominations that they have committed.

³ They shall keep guard over you and ^(A)over the whole tent, ^(B)but shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary or to the altar ^(C)lest they, and you, die.

^9 (A)However, the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.

⁷ Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(A)I swear that the nations that are all around you ^(B)shall themselves suffer reproach.

²⁰ They shall fall amid those ^(A)who are slain by the sword. Egypt^[a] is delivered to the sword; drag her away, and ^(B)all her multitudes.

^61 (A)Then you will remember your ways ^(B)and be ashamed when you take ^(C)your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you ^(D)as daughters, but not on account of^[a] the covenant with you.
