But the priests were too few, so that they could not
flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had
sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to

Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been
consecrated. For the Levites had been more
diligent in
consecrating themselves than the priests had been.

sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
since they had been unable to observe it at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not been gathered in Jerusalem.

consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that His fierce anger will turn away from you.

polluted the house of the LORD which he had
hallowed in Jerusalem.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they
defiled the house of the LORD, which He had
consecrated in Jerusalem.
And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were
consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a
freewill offering unto the LORD.
After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings and those for New Moons and for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD, as well as all the
freewill offerings brought to the LORD.
They that
sanctify themselves, and
purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating
swine’s flesh, and the
abomination, and the
mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
“Those who
consecrate and
purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of
swine and
vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.
What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought
lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can
consecrated meat
avert your
doom, so that you can
rejoice?
Seven days shall they
purge the altar and
purify it; and they shall
consecrate themselves.
For seven days the priests are to make
atonement for the altar and
cleanse it; so they shall
consecrate it.
