KJV ORIGINAL

It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

This area is set aside for the priests who are set apart from the family line of Zadok — the ones who stayed faithful to what I asked them to do. When everyone else in Israel started going off track, and even the other Levites lost their way, these guys stayed loyal.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God rewards the ones who stay faithful when everyone else is walking away.

Leviticus 21:24

So Moses shared this message with Aaron, his sons, and all the people of Israel.

But the Levite priests who are descendants of Zadok — they stayed faithful and took care of my sanctuary even when everyone else in Israel turned their backs on me. These are the ones who get to come close to me and serve me directly. They're the ones who will stand in my presence and make the offerings of fat and blood to me, says the Lord God.
