Ezekiel 44:9

A church father on this verse
“He is uncircumcised in heart who holds heretical views in his mind and arranges blasphemous assertions against knowledge of Christ in his heart. But he is circumcised in heart who guards the pure faith in sincerity of conscience, about whom it can be said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — HOMILIES ON GENESIS 3:6

In context

7that ye have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to profane it, when ye offered bread, flesh, and blood; and ye transgressed my covenant by all your iniquities;

8and ye appointed others to keep the charges in my sanctuary.

— Ezekiel 44:9 —

10But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear their iniquity.

11Yet they shall minister in my sanctuary, being porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall slay the victims and the whole burnt offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister to them.
