10 And Jehovah went on to say to Moses: “Go to the people, and you must sanctify them today and tomorrow, and they must wash their mantles.+

21 So the Levites purified themselves+ and washed their garments, after which Aaron caused them to move to and fro as a wave offering before Jehovah.+ Then Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.+

34 Only the priests+ themselves happened to be too few, and they were not able to skin all the burnt offerings.+ So their brothers+ the Levites helped them out until the work was finished+ and until the priests could sanctify themselves, for the Levites+ were more upright+ of heart for sanctifying themselves than the priests.

24 For Hez·e·kiʹah the king of Judah himself contributed+ for the congregation a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the princes+ themselves contributed for the congregation a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and priests+ kept sanctifying themselves in great number.
