1 Chronicles 15:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levite families. You and your relatives must perform the ceremonies to make yourselves holy. Then bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I prepared for it. ¹³ Because you weren’t there the first time, the Lord our God struck us. We hadn’t dedicated our lives to serving him in the way ⌞he⌟ designated.”

¹⁴ So the priests and the Levites made themselves holy in order to move the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
