2 Chronicles 29:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and he gathered them into the eastern square. ⁵ And he said to them, “Hear me, O Levites! Sanctify yourselves now, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors,^[a] and bring out the defilement from the sanctuary. ⁶ For our ancestors^[b] acted unfaithfully and did evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the dwelling place of Yahweh. They have turned their backs^[c] on it.
