| Ezekiel 44:10
| Moreover, the Levites that went away far from me, when the children of Israel went astray, and have wandered from me after their idols, and have borne their iniquity:
| Levites, or priests, (Haydock) who were seduced by Jeroboam, or offered victims on the high places, 4 Kings 23:9. Such lost their privileges and were condemned to serve in the meanest offices. It seems the race of Ithamar was alone guilty, and the threat against his house was now put in execution, 1 Kings 2:39., and 3:14., and Leviticus 21:17., and 2 Esdras 7:64. (Calmet)
