2 Chronicles 29:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ These Levites gathered their brothers together and ·made themselves holy [consecrated/purified/sanctified themselves]. Then they went into the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord to purify it. They obeyed the king’s command that had come from the Lord. ¹⁶ When the priests went into the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord to ·purify [cleanse] it, they took out all the ·unclean [defiled; ^Critually] things they found in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and put them in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] courtyard. Then the Levites took these things out to the Kidron Valley. ¹⁷ Beginning on the first day of the first month, they ·made holy [consecrated; purified; sanctified] the ·Temple [^Lhouse]. On the eighth day of the month, they came to the ·porch [portico; vestibule; entry room] of the ·Temple [^Lhouse], and for eight more days they ·made holy [consecrated; purified; sanctified] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. So they finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.
