Ezekiel 40:44-46

New International Version

The Rooms for the Priests

⁴⁴ Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two rooms, one^[a] at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south^[b] gate and facing north. ⁴⁵ He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,^{(A) 46} and the room facing north^(B) is for the priests who guard the altar.^(C) These are the sons of Zadok,^(D) who are the only Levites who may draw near to the Lord to minister before him.^(E)”
