Eze 44:10-12 | MHM | STEP | Idolatrous Priests Degraded In this section, God examines the priests and Levites to see who is faithful and who is not. He decides who should be removed from their positions and who should continue to serve. This teaches us that God cares about the character and actions of those who serve him, and he rewards faithfulness but punishes unfaithfulness. v. 10-12 : Some Levites and priests had turned away from God and followed idols. They led others into sin and served in ways that dishonored God. Because of this, God says they will be punished. They will lose their special place as priests and will only be allowed to do lower tasks in the temple. They will not be allowed to come near the most holy things. This is a warning that those who dishonor God will lose their privileges, even if they are still allowed to serve in some way (Ezekiel 44:10-12 ).
