- "And the chamberª whose¹ prospectª [is] towardª the northª [is] for the priests,ª the keepersª° of the chargeª of the altar:ª these¹ [are] the sonsª of Zadokª among the sonsª¹ of Levi,ª which come nearª to¹ the LORDª to ministerª° unto him." {Ezk 40:46} + "But the priestsª the Levites,ª the sonsª of Zadok,ª that¹ keptª°¹ the chargeª of my sanctuaryª when the childrenª of Israelª went astrayª° from¹¹ me, they¹ shall come nearª° to¹ me to ministerª° unto me, and they shall standª° beforeª me to offerª° unto me the fatª and the blood,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD:ª" {Ezk 44:15} + "[It shall be] for the priestsª that are sanctifiedª° of the sonsª¹ of Zadok;ª which¹ have keptª° my charge,ª which¹ went not astrayª°¹ when the childrenª of Israelª went astray,ª° as¹ the Levitesª went astray.ª°" {Ezk 48:11} + "And I will raise me upª° a faithfulª° priest,ª [that] shall doª° according to [that] which¹ [is] in mine heartª and in my mind:ª and I will buildª° him a sureª° house;ª and he shall walkª° beforeª mine anointedª for ever.ª¹ ... And it shall come to pass,¹ [that] every one¹ that is leftª° in thine houseª shall comeª° [and] crouchª° to him for a pieceª of silverª and a morselª of bread,ª and shall say,ª° Putª° me, I pray thee,¹ into¹ oneª of the priests' offices,ª that I may eatª° a pieceª of bread.ª" {1Sm 2:35-36} + "So Solomonª thrust outª°¹ Abiatharª from being¹¹ priestª unto the LORD;ª that he might fulfilª°¹ the wordª of the LORD,ª which¹ he spakeª° concerning¹ the houseª of Eliª in Shiloh.ª" {1Kg 2:27} + "And the kingª putª°¹ Benaiahª the sonª of Jehoiadaª in his room¹ over¹ the host:ª and Zadokª the priestª did the kingª putª° in the room¹ of Abiathar.ª" {1Kg 2:35} + "But ye¹ shall be namedª° the Priestsª of the LORD:ª [men] shall callª° you the Ministersª° of our God:ª ye shall eatª° the richesª of the Gentiles,ª and in their gloryª shall ye boast²° yourselves.¹" {Isa 61:6} + "For¹ as¹ the newª heavensª and the newª earth,ª which¹ I¹ will make,ª° shall remainª° beforeª me, saithª° the LORD,ª so¹ shall your seedª and your nameª remain.ª°" {Isa 66:22} + "Neither¹ shall the priestsª the Levitesª wantª° a manª beforeª¹ me to offerª° burnt offerings,ª and to kindleª° meat offerings,ª and to doª° sacrificeª continually.ª¹ ...
