5And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

2 Chronicles 28:17, 2 Chronicles 28:17, 2 Chronicles 28:5, 2 Chronicles 28:8, 2 Chronicles 28:5

10Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

Jeremiah 50:5, Jeremiah 50:5, 2 Chronicles 23:16, 2 Chronicles 23:16, Ezra 10:3

33And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

34But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

2 Chronicles 35:11, 2 Chronicles 35:11, 2 Chronicles 30:3, 2 Chronicles 30:3, 2 Chronicles 30:16

35And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the Lord was set in order.
