2 Kronieken 29:34

Er waren zelfs priesters te weinig, om al de brandoffers te kunnen ver werken. Daarom werden ze door de levieten bijgestaan, tot de plechtigheid ten einde zou zijn, en de priesters zich hadden geheiligd; de levieten hadden zich namelijk met meer ijver geheiligd dan de priesters.

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 sanctify themselves than the priests.
