They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them. ¹² Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.
