"^(C1)Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes ^(C2)to consecrate himself with a bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of things that are ^(C3)not gods.

"But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not abandoned Him; and the sons of Aaron are ministering to the LORD as priests, and the Levites ^(F1)attend to their work.

"Every morning and evening ^(C1)they ^(F1)burn to the LORD burnt offerings and fragrant incense, and ^(C2)the showbread is set on the clean table, and the golden lampstand with its lamps is ready to light every evening; for we perform our duty to the LORD our God, but you have abandoned Him.
