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]. ⁶ Our ·ancestors [fathers] were unfaithful to God and did ·what the Lord said was wrong [^Levil in the Lord’s sight/eyes]. They ·left [abandoned; forsook] the Lord and ·stopped worshiping at [^Lturned their faces away from] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] where he lives. They ·rejected [^Lturned their backs on] him.
