Hezekiah Sets the House of God as Holy
5 Then he said to them, “Listen to me, O Levites. (A)Set yourselves apart now as holy, and set apart as holy the house of Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and bring out the impurity from the holy place. 6 For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what is evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken Him and (B)turned their faces away from the dwelling place of Yahweh, and have [a]turned their backs. 7 They have also (C)shut the doors of the porch and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
