Quant aux pontifes Lévites, descendants de Çadok, qui ont veillé à la garde de mon sanctuaire, tandis que les enfants d’Israël s’égaraient loin de moi, ce sont eux qui s’approcheront de moi pour me servir et se tiendront en ma présence pour m’offrir la graisse et le sang, dit le Seigneur Dieu.

“The levitical priests descended from Zadok, who maintained the service in My sanctuary” [44:15]. The Holy One said: the priests, descendants of Zadok, who was the first priest in the days of Solomon. Therefore, all the priests who acted properly and guarded My Temple were named after him.1Rashi, Ezekiel, 44:15. When Israel went astray from Me, these children of Zadok brought Israel back to Me, to My service.
