2 Chronicles 29:33-35
New English Translation
33 and 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep[a] were consecrated. 34 But there were not enough priests to skin all the animals,[b] so their brothers, the Levites, helped them until the work was finished and the priests could consecrate themselves. (The Levites had been more conscientious about consecrating themselves than the priests.)[c] 35 There was a large number of burnt sacrifices, as well as fat from the peace offerings and drink offerings that accompanied the burnt sacrifices. So the service of the Lord’s temple was reinstituted.[d]
