Then they will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 They will bring all—yes, all!—[f] of your kindred from all the nations to[g] my holy mountain Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots, in wagons, and on mules—yes, even on mules!—[h] and on camels,” says the Lord, “just as the Israelis bring a grain offering in a clean vessel to the Lord’s house. 21 Then I will also select some of them for myself[i] as priests and as Levites,”[j] says the Lord.
