2-Kronieken 29:34

Er waren echter te weinig priesters, zodat zij niet al de brandoffers de huid konden aftrekken, maar hun broeders, de Levieten, hielpen hen, totdat het werk gereed was en de priesters zich geheiligd hadden. Want de Levieten hadden met hun heiliging meer ernst gemaakt 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.
