2 Chronicles 29:4-6

4He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them into the public square on the east.

5Then he said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites. 1Consecrate yourselves now, and consecrate the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and carry the uncleanness out of the holy place.

6For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done evil in the sight of the Lord our God, and they have abandoned Him and 2turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the Lord, and have 3turned their backs.
