2 Chronicles 29:3-11

3He, in the firstH7223 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and repairedH2388 them.

4And he broughtH935 in the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gatheredH622 them into the openH7339 place eastward;

5and he saidH559 to them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881: hallow yourselves nowH6258, and hallow the houseH1004 of Jehovah the 1GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthiness out of the sanctuaryH6944.

6For our fathersH1 have transgressed, and done evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah our 2GodH430, and have forsaken him and turnedH5437 awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitation of Jehovah, and have turnedH5437 their backsH6203.

7AlsoH1571 they have shutH5462 up the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and put out the lampsH5216, and have not burned incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 up burnt-offerings in the sanctuaryH6944 to the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

8Therefore the wrathH7110 of Jehovah has beenH1961 upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he has delivered them to vexation, to desolationH8047, and to hissing, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869.

9And behold, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this.

10NowH6258 it is in my heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with Jehovah the 4GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierce angerH639 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from us.

11My sonsH1121, beH1961 not nowH6258 negligent; for Jehovah has chosen you to standH5975 before him, to do service unto him, and to beH1961 his ministers and incense-burners.
