Ezekiel 44:5

And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.

... concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord - directions as to the priests. Their acts of desecration are attributed to "the house of Israel" (Ezekiel 44:6 ), as the sins of the priesthood and of the people acted and re-acted on one another; 'like people, like priest' ( ; ).
