18Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of Yhwh by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Yhwh, to offer the burnt offerings of Yhwh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David. 19And he set the porters at the gates of the house of Yhwh, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
