Ezekiel 44:8

You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners ¹  to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.

Instead of carrying out your duty in regard to my holy things, you put others in charge of my sanctuary.

"And you have not kept charge of My holy things yourselves, but you have set foreigners to keep charge of My sanctuary."

You have not kept the laws I gave you concerning these sacred rituals, for you have hired foreigners to take charge of my sanctuary.

You haven't taken care of my holy things. You've hired out the work to foreigners who care nothing for this place, my Sanctuary.

And you have not taken care of my holy things; but you have put them as keepers to take care of my work in my holy place.

And you have not kept charge of my sacred offerings; but you have appointed foreigners to act for you in keeping my charge in my sanctuary.

"And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you."

You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners ¹  to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.

¹ tc Instead of an energic nun (ן), the text may have read a third masculine plural suffix ם (mem), “them,” which was confused with ן (nun) in the old script. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:621.

tn This word is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied from the context.
