2 Chronicles 29:3-17

3He in the firstH7223 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, openedH6605 the doorH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and repairedH2388 them.

4And he broughtH935 in the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gatheredH622 them togetherH622 intoH935 the broad placeH935 on the eastH4217,

5and saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 meH4480, ye LevitesH3881; nowH6258 sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carryH3318 forthH3318 the filthiness outH3318 of the holyH6944 placeH6944.

6For our fathersH1 have trespassed, and doneH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and have forsaken him, and have turnedH5437 awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitation of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5437 their backsH6203.

7Also they have shutH5462 upH5927 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and putH5927 outH853 the lampsH5216, and have notH3808 burnedH6999 incenseH7004 norH3808 offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH3478 in the holyH6944 placeH6944 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

8Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was uponH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and an hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869.

9For, loH2009, 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 mineH4480 heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 angerH639 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from usH7725.

11My sonsH1121, be notH408 nowH6258 negligent: for the LORDH3068 hath chosen youH3588 to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, to ministerH8334 unto him, and that ye should be his ministersH8334, and burnH6999 incenseH6999.

12Then the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965, MahathH4287 the sonH1121 of AmasaiH6022, and JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, of the sonsH1121 of the KohathitesH6956: and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, KishH7027 the sonH1121 of AbdiH5660, and AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehallelelH3094: and of the GershonitesH1649, JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of ZimmahH2155, and EdenH5731 the sonH1121 of JoahH3098:

13and of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469, ShimriH8113 and JeuelH3273: and of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, ZechariahH2148 and MattaniahH4983:

14and of the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968, Jehuel and ShimeiH8096: and of the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038, ShemaiahH8098 and UzzielH5816.

15And they gatheredH622 their brethrenH251, and sanctifiedH6942 themselvesH6942, and wentH935 in, according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 by the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

16And the priestsH3548 wentH3318 in unto the innerH6441 partH6441 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 it, and broughtH935 outH3318 allH3605 the uncleannessH2932 that they foundH4672 in the templeH1004 of the LORDH3068 intoH935 the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And the LevitesH3881 tookH3318 it, to carryH3318 it outH3318 abroadH2351 to the brookH5158 KidronH6939.

17NowH3117 they beganH2490 on the firstH7223 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320 to sanctifyH6942, and on the eighthH8083 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 cameH935 they to the porchH197 of the LORDH3068; and they sanctifiedH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in eightH8083 daysH3117: and on the sixteenth dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320 they madeH6942 an endH3615.
