2 Chronicles 29:5-11 and said unto them, "Hear me ye Levites: purify yourselves and hallow the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and bring out the filthiness out of the holy place.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ and said unto them, "Hear me ye Levites: purify yourselves and hallow the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and bring out the filthiness out of the holy place. ⁶ For our fathers have trespassed and done evil favouredly in the eyes of the LORD our God: and have forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD and turned to their backs. ⁷ And beside that they have shut up the doors of the porch and quenched the lamps and have neither burned cense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel. ⁸ Wherefore the wrath of the LORD fell on Judah and Jerusalem: and he scattered them and made them so thin that men hiss at it, even as ye see with your eyes. ⁹ For see, our fathers were overthrown with the sword and our sons, our daughters and our wives were carried away captive for the same cause. ¹⁰ Now have I in my heart to strike a covenant with the LORD God of Israel: that his wrath may cease. ¹¹ Now therefore, my sons, be not negligent: for the LORD had chosen you to stand before him, and for to minister and burn offerings to him."
