2 Chronicles 29:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ He brought in the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the square on the east, ⁵ and said to them, “Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filth from the holy place. ⁶ For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the Lord our God; they have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs.
