You are to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,and you are to teach the people of Israel all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by Moses.”

They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.In a dispute, they shall act as judges, and they shall judge it according to my judgments. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts, and they shall keep my Sabbaths holy.

They shall teach Jacob your rules and Israel your law; they shall put incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.

He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

And you shall be careful to do according to all that they direct you.According to the instructions that they give you, and according to the decision which they pronounce to you, you shall do. You shall not turn aside from the verdict that they declare to you, either to the right hand or to the left.
