Não lançastes vós aos sacerdotes do SENHOR, aos filhos de Arão, e aos levitas, e vos haveis feito sacerdotes à maneira dos povos de outras terras, para que qualquer um venha a consagrar-se com um bezerro e sete carneiros, e assim seja sacerdote dos que não são Deuses?

10But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
11And they burn unto the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord our God; but ye have forsaken him.
