- the Levites:
- "But¹ the priestsª were¹ too few,ª so that they couldª° not¹ flayª°¹ all¹ the burnt offerings:ª wherefore their brethrenª the Levitesª did helpª° them, till¹ the workª was ended,ª° and until¹ the [other] priestsª had sanctified²° themselves:¹ for¹ the Levitesª [were] more uprightª in heartª to sanctify²° themselves¹ than the priests.ª¹" {2Ch 29:34} + "And saidª° unto the Levitesª that taughtª²°° all¹ Israel,ª which were holyª unto the LORD,ª Putª°¹ the holyª arkª in the houseª which¹ Solomonª the sonª of Davidª kingª of Israelª did build;ª° [it shall] not¹ [be] a burdenª upon [your] shoulders:ª serveª° now¹¹ the LORDª your God,ª and his peopleª Israel,ª ... So killª° the passover,ª and sanctify²° yourselves,¹ and prepareª° your brethren,ª that [they] may doª° according to the wordª of the LORDª by the handª of Moses.ª" {2Ch 35:3-6}
