³ Hezekiah opened the doors of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and ·repaired [restored] them in the first month of the first year he was king. ⁴ Hezekiah brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the ·courtyard [square] on the east side of the ·Temple [^Lhouse]. ⁵ Hezekiah said, “Listen to me, Levites. ·Make yourselves ready for the Lord’s service [Consecrate/Purify/Sanctify yourselves], and ·make holy [consecrate/purify/sanctify] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord, the God of your ·ancestors [fathers]. Remove from the ·Temple [^Lhouse] everything that makes it ·impure [defiled; ritually unclean].
