2 Chronicles 29:5-15

5Then he saidH559 to them, “ListenH8085 to me, you LevitesH3881. 1ConsecrateH6942 yourselves nowH6258, and consecrateH6942 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carryH3318 the uncleannessH5079 outH3318 of the holyH6944 place. 6For our fathersH1 have beenH4603 unfaithfulH4603 and have doneH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, and they have abandonedH5800 Him and 2turnedH5437 their facesH6440 awayH5437 from the dwellingH4908 placeH4908 of the LordH3068, and have 3turnedH5414 their backsH6203. 7They have alsoH1571 4shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197 and extinguishedH3518 the lampsH5216, and have not burnedH6999 incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 in the holyH6944 place to the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 8Therefore 5the wrathH7110 of the LordH3068 was againstH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and He has madeH5414 them an objectH2113 ofH2113 terrorH2113, of horrorH8047, and of 6hissingH8322, as you seeH7200 with your own eyesH5869. 9For beholdH2009, 7our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121, our daughtersH1323, and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 becauseH5921 of thisH2088. 10NowH6258 it is in my heartH3824 8to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, so that His burningH2740 angerH639 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from us. 11My sonsH1121, do not beH7951 negligentH7951 nowH6258, for 9the LordH3068 has chosenH977 you to standH5975 beforeH6440 Him, to serveH8334 Him, and to be His ministersH8334 and burnH6999 incenseH6999.”

12Then the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965: 10MahathH4287 the sonH1121 of AmasaiH6022 and JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, from the sonsH1121 of 11the KohathitesH6956; and from the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, KishH7027 the sonH1121 of AbdiH5660 and AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehallelelH3094; and from the GershonitesH1649, JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of ZimmahH2155 and EdenH5730 the sonH1121 of JoahH3098; 13and from the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469, ShimriH8113 and 12JeielH3262; and from the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, ZechariahH2148 and MattaniahH4983; 14and from the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968, 13JehielH3171 and ShimeiH8096; and from the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038, ShemaiahH8098 and UzzielH5816. 15They assembledH622 their brothersH251, 14consecratedH6942 themselves, and wentH935 inH935 15to cleanseH2891 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 16by the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068.
