["Me" <mc2499 AT mclink.it>]

I have always read Ezek 40:45-6 as saying that those priests who 
tended the altar at the time of writing were the sons of Zadok, while 
those who more generally tended the temple were "rank and file" 
priests. However, I recently came across a translation that took the 
position that the sons of Zadok applied to both those who were in 
charge of the temple and of the altar. How do people on the list 
read the text from a strictly linguistic point of view?


Thanks,


Ian
